Mock Procession of Guy Fawkes: A Hand-Colored Aquatint by William Pyne, 1805
Located in Langweer, NL
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...

Rare Original Hand-Colored Engraving of Joan of Arc from Orleans, France, 1805
Located in Langweer, NL

This print depicts Joan of Arc. Originates from a rare costume book titled 'Sammlung von Trachten bey verschiedenen ältern und neuern Völkern (..)'.
Joan of Arc, a peasant girl living in medieval France, believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory in its long-running war with England.

Stunning Hand-Colored Antique Bird Print of a Female Jacamar by Barraband, c1805
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Le Jacamar femelle, No. 48'.
This print originates from "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Rolliers, Suivie de Celle des Toucans et des Barbus" by Francois Levillant.
Barraband pinxt. Gremillier Sculpt. De l'Imprimerie de Rousset.
Jacques Barraband (or Pierre-Paul Barraband) (1767? (baptized 1768), Aubusson (Creuse), France–1 October 1809, Lyon) was a French zoological and botanical illustrator, renowned for his lifelike renderings of tropical birds. His pictures were based on mounted specimens and his illustration was considered the most accurate ones made during the early 1800s.
Barraband was born to Jacques Barraband and Marie-Anne Bebit in 1767 (or 1768) and was baptized on August 31, 1768 at the church of Sainte-Croix in Aubusson. His father worked in the local tapestry factory and the son also worked there briefly after studying art at the local school, which was famed for producing several artists of note, including Francis Roby de Faureix and Etienne de La Seiglière de La Cour. He later moved to Paris, working at tapestry and carpet stores on rue de la Huchette and studying art at l’Academie royale de peinture under Joseph-Laurent Malaine. During the French exposition of 1798, he produced some paintings for the carpet manufacturers Gobelins and Savonnerie and for the porcelain makers Dihl and Gerhard. He also made illustrations of insects for the French naturalist Sonnini and illustrated a book by Fournier on Egypt. He then produced a series of watercolours of birds...
