EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The story of two small boys who had cause to 'remember the fifth of November'" takes us back to 19th century England. The illustration, featured in Judy, or the London Serio-comic Journal on November 5th, 1873, offers a satirical commentary on punishment and corporal discipline. In this humorous scene, we see two mischievous young boys facing the consequences of their actions. The artist skillfully captures their expressions of mischief and apprehension as they stand before a stern-looking police officer. Dressed in traditional English attire with flat caps atop their heads, these little troublemakers find themselves at odds with authority. The image serves as a reminder of Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night celebrated annually on November 5th in Great Britain. This historical event commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Through this clever caricature, we witness not only the children's predicament but also gain insight into societal attitudes towards discipline during that era. The artist's attention to detail and use of humor make this engraving an intriguing piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. "The story of two small boys who had cause to 'remember the fifth of November'" is a delightful snapshot capturing both innocence and consequence within its intricate lines.
