Guy Fawkes Night

Festivities in Windsor Castle by Paul Sandby, c. 1776
An effigy of Fawkes, burnt on 5 November 2010 at Billericay
Revellers in Lewes, 5 November 2010
The restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in 1850 provoked a strong reaction.  This sketch is from an issue of Punch, printed in November that year.

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.
