Photography — C. 1877
November Effigies
A 'November effigy' being paraded through the street, c. 1877. At the time this photograph was taken it was common practise in early November to parade effigies of unpopular public figures as well as Guy Fawkes. In his notes to the photograph, Adolphe Smith refers to the effigy shown as being a 'meaningless monstrosity' created purely for the purposes of entertainment and profit.
