I'm afraid you won't be much more succesful in this quest. Fawkes died on May 25, 1731 -- one hundred and seven years before Louis Daguerre created the first permanant photographic images using silver-plated copper coated with silver iodide and "developed" with warmed mercury.

There are images ofhim available though.
Look for the Famous engravings of Bartholemew fair by Hogarth, and you will see his likeness.

Bobby Bernard used present a recreation of Fawkes act at British conventions and also for The Magic Circle At Home evenings. I believe the act is now in retirement.

Bobby is recuperating from a recent leg operation after a nasty fall down the stairs.
