Captain St. Hill Brock presents here, in Part I, a brief history of pyrotechnics from origins in the East through the present. Part II delves more into a description of the fireworks themselves, there manufacture, and some modern uses, and a tribute to his brother, Wing-Commander Frank Arthur Brock, R.N.A.S. Killed at Zeebrugge April 23rd, 1918. From his introduction: “My object has not been to write a text-book on firework-making, but rather to trace the art from earliest times, and to give a description of the development and process of manufacture. . . . My excuse for adding another volume to the literature of the art is that I am of the eighth generation of a family of pyrotechnists, whose work, I venture to claim, has not been without its effect.” - Summary by Larry WilsonCopyright Tragedy Genre アート 世界 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
