The Apprehending of Guy Fawkes - A Glimpse into English History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in English history - the apprehension of the notorious conspirator, Guy Fawkes. Depicted in this 19th-century engraving by the English School, we witness Sir Thomas Knevet and his attendants successfully capturing Fawkes, who was plotting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. The scene is filled with tension and drama as Knevet's group surrounds Fawkes, their determined expressions revealing their dedication to preserving peace and stability. The intricate details of this artwork bring alive the historical event that shook England to its core. Originally published as an illustration for "The History of England" by George Courtney Lyttleton, this engraving showcases a regular series of beautiful engravings that adorned the pages of J Stratford's publication in 1805. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. Through this image, we are transported back in time to an era where political intrigue and religious conflicts dominated England. It reminds us how one man's plot could have changed the course of history forever but was thwarted by vigilant individuals like Sir Thomas Knevet. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect on our shared past and appreciate those who safeguarded our freedoms against all odds.
