Illustration
From Hirayama Fireworks, Illustrated Catalog of Day Light Bomb Shells (c. 1883), p. 10.
A pastel sky pierced by squiggles - part firework, part falling ribbon, part confectionery hallucination. Likely a diagram of a color flame shell, this print doesn’t explain; it insists. Red, violet, green, yellow: pure pigment, pure play.
Part of the ArdorU’s Fireworks Collection.
