EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph titled "November Effigies, from Street Life in London, 1877-78" takes us back to a bygone era. Captured through the lens of John Thomson, this woodburytype print showcases the vibrant street life of Victorian London. In this intriguing scene, we are transported to Guy Fawkes Night, a traditional British celebration held on November 5th. The image features a cart adorned with effigies and costumes that reflect the working-class culture of the time. A donkey stands nearby, seemingly observing the commotion with curiosity. Children take center stage in this snapshot of history as they eagerly participate in the festivities. One child holds up a sign reading "Penny for the Guy" an age-old tradition where children would create effigies resembling Guy Fawkes and ask passersby for donations. Thomson's mastery behind the camera captures not only their youthful innocence but also hints at their resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how even during difficult times, communities find solace and joy in coming together to celebrate traditions. Preserved by Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this remarkable piece allows us to glimpse into an era long past while appreciating Thomson's skillful documentation of everyday life.
