Pyrotechnics: the history and art of firework making

Brock, Alan St. H. (Alan St. Hill), 1886- · 1922 · London, D. O'Connor · 10 pictures

Alan St. H. Brock's 1922 London history of fireworks, published by D. O'Connor, traces pyrotechnic display from its earliest days to its own era. The pictures are historic engravings and photographs of firework spectacles at Versailles, Vauxhall and Delhi, with pyrotechnic set pieces drawn in warm red-orange ink, useful to a designer studying fireworks as a historical theme.
