EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Making the Guy" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a group of individuals is engrossed in the age-old tradition of creating a Guy Fawkes effigy. The English School's exquisite engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historical practice. As night falls, casting an enchanting glow over the scene, we witness a lively gathering as people come together to construct their own representation of Guy Fawkes. With meticulous attention to detail, every step of the process is depicted - from carefully selecting and arranging materials for his body to meticulously dressing him in old clothes. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as each person contributes their creative touch to bring life to this symbolic figure. This image not only showcases the craftsmanship involved but also serves as a reminder of how traditions can unite communities and preserve cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access into this private collection that holds within it a piece of history. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with storytelling and education, evident by its original purpose as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1889. This remarkable print invites us to reflect on our own customs and rituals while appreciating those passed down through generations. It serves as a testament to humanity's innate desire for connection and celebration – even when commemorating events from centuries ago.
