EDITORS COMMENTS
Fireworks illuminate the night sky on a chilly November evening, as captured in this vintage print from 1970. The image takes us back to Guy Fawkes Night, a cherished British tradition celebrated on November 5th each year. This particular display was held at Guys Hospital, where families and friends gathered to witness the mesmerizing spectacle of exploding colors and patterns. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the excitement and wonder that filled the air that night. Vibrant bursts of reds, blues, and golds paint an ethereal backdrop against the dark canvas above. As sparks dance across the heavens, spectators can't help but be captivated by their beauty. In addition to fireworks, Bonfire Night also featured bonfires symbolizing the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament. It was customary for children to create "Guys" effigies made from old clothes stuffed with newspaper or straw. These Guys were then paraded through town streets with youngsters asking passersby for "a penny for the Guy". This nostalgic print by Jeremy Piper transports us back in time, evoking memories of crisp autumn nights spent huddled together with loved ones around roaring bonfires while marveling at dazzling pyrotechnic displays. It serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and how simple moments like these continue to bring joy across generations.
