Illustration

From Hirayama Fireworks, Illustrated Catalog of Day Light Bomb Shells (c. 1883), p. 86.

Two types of fireworks, one picture. At the top, a round bloom spreads like a flower in the sky. Below, smaller bursts scatter like stars or asterisks. Printed in negative against an artificial blue, the image proposes fireworks as iconography. Light, indexed.
