"Remember, Remember the 5th of November: A Historical Celebration of Fireworks Night" Every year on the 5th of November, people gather around bonfires and light up the night sky with dazzling fireworks. This tradition dates back to a significant event in British history - The Capture Of Guy Fawkes in 1605. Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plotters had planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament, but their plot was foiled. Since then, this day has been celebrated as a reminder of their failed attempt. In Autumn Leaves by John Everett Millais, we see a beautiful depiction from 1856 that captures the essence of this season when fireworks night takes place. The vibrant colors reflect the excitement and joy that fills the air during this festive occasion. Looking back at old photographs, we come across two lads with a rather grumpy Guy seen on the streets of Cardiff in 1979. These boys are eagerly preparing for an evening filled with fireworks displays and bonfires. Windsor Castle from Lower Court on Fifth of November—Fireworks showcases how even grand landmarks like Windsor Castle become illuminated by bursts of colorful lights during this celebration in 1776. The artistry continues with November Effigies created by John Thomson in both 1877 and 1881. These engravings depict effigies being prepared for burning as part of traditional celebrations associated with Guy Fawkes Day. James Abbott McNeill Whistler's painting titled Fifth of November from 1895 transports us into a world where explosions fill every corner of our vision – truly capturing the spirit and spectacle that is Fireworks Night. Lastly, we cannot forget John Dillwyn Llewelyn's photograph titled "Remember, remember the 5thof November. " taken between1853-56 which serves as a poignant reminder to cherish these moments spent together under starry skies.
