The Mock Procession of Guy Fawkes: A Hand-Colored Aquatint by William Henry Pyne This captivating aquatint by William Henry Pyne, published by William Miller, offers a vivid portrayal of a street scene that can be aptly related to the historical celebration of Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night. The annual event on the 5th of November commemorates the foiled Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in which Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators attempted to blow up the House of Lords in London. In the print, we witness a chaotic yet lively scene filled with exuberant characters, mirroring the festive atmosphere of Bonfire Night. Central to the image is a mock procession, likely depicting a satirical reenactment of Guy Fawkes' capture and punishment, a common feature of the celebrations. Key Elements of the Scene: - Foreground Characters: The illustration brims with energy as a group of ragtag children and adults partake in the festivities. Some children wave hats and sticks, while others shout and cheer, embodying the spirited cries of "Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring" from the famous rhyme. - Central Figure: A man dressed in tattered clothes, resembling Guy Fawkes, is carried on a makeshift chair by two other men. His weary expression hints at the gravity of his intended treason, now mocked by the jubilant crowd. - Background Activity: The background showcases additional figures, including a man carrying a large basket and another with a barrel, possibly filled with "three score barrels of powder" as mentioned in the rhyme. Rising smoke suggests bonfires burning in the distance, a hallmark of the night's celebrations. - Right Side of the Scene: To the right, a seated woman cooks over a small pot, while another woman with a basket watches...
