"Guy Fawkes (1570-1606) Interrogated by James I (1566-1625) and His Council in the King's Bedchamber" is an illustration from "Illustrations of English and Scottish History Volume I" by William Ralston. This artwork captures a pivotal moment in British history, depicting the intense interrogation of Guy Fawkes following his arrest during the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James I and the members of Parliament by a group of provincial English Catholics, including Fawkes, who sought to restore Catholic rule in England.

The illustration is significant for its historical representation, as it portrays the tension and drama of the event in the intimate setting of the King's bedchamber. Fawkes, known for his role in the Gunpowder Plot, is shown under the scrutiny of King James I, who personally took part in the questioning. The King's involvement in the interrogation process was unusual, as monarchs typically remained distanced from such direct interactions with prisoners.

William Ralston, the artist behind the volume, aimed to bring to life key moments from English and Scottish history through his illustrations. His work serves as a visual complement to the historical narratives, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the events and personalities that shaped the course of British history.

The illustration not only serves as an artistic interpretation of a historical event but also reflects the cultural and political atmosphere of the time. It is a valuable resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the visual representation of history. As such, the illustration is an important contribution to the historiography of the early 17th century and the enduring legacy of the Gunpowder Plot in British collective memory.
