EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous engraving, titled "1849, A prospect of the 5th of November showing the Guys" captures the lively spirit and social customs of early Victorian England. Created by Richard Doyle in 1849, this image showcases a scene from Guy Fawkes Night, a traditional English celebration held on November 5th. In this satirical caricature, we see an amusing gathering of children eagerly displaying their homemade Guys - effigies representing Guy Fawkes himself. The artist's wit shines through as he playfully exaggerates the features and expressions of these young characters. The illustration is part of Doyle's work for "Manners and Customs of ye Englyshe drawn from ye Quick" published by Bradbury & Evans in 1850. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate details and clever composition that make this piece so entertaining. Beyond its comedic value, this print offers insight into both English culture and European history during the mid-19th century. It reflects not only the importance placed on traditions like Guy Fawkes Night but also provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. Whether you are interested in British customs or simply enjoy lighthearted artwork, this charming engraving is sure to bring a smile to your face with its delightful portrayal of children reveling in their mischievous antics on November 5th.
