Guy Fawkes and J.M.W. Turner
![]() |
Guy Fawkes, the only man to have entered Parliament with honest intentions, being greeted by the Official Reception Committee, 5th November 1605. |
Mr Fawkes's intention, of course, was to blow the building up, or to burn it down, he probably didn't care which.
He failed in this endeavour, though the edifice was finally consumed in flames in 1834, and witnessed by the artist J.M.W. Turner.
