Image description

Man lighting fireworks, 1635. Engraving showing a fixed wheel that 'shall cast forth many rockets in the ayre'. In all, sixteen rockets would be fired in succession. Firework displays have been widely used for celebrations in Europe since the 16th century. Elaborate pyrotechnic effects were often created and used in a theatrical setting. In 1635, the master pyrotechnician John Babington published a book from which this illustration comes, and which describes many effects available at the time, some of which he had devised. This work, 'Pyrotechnia or, A discourse of artificiall fire-works', dealt with geometry and the use of fireworks for military purposes. ©SSPL/Science Museum
