Dotz Warren, Mingo Jack, Moyer GeorgeDotz Warren. Firecrackers - The Art and History 2000 [pdf 148sc 136+2c. 19.21mb]
Universally popular,uncommonly loud, a pyrotechnic spectacle that inspires laughter, delight
and a healthy dose of frayed nerves—what else but the firecracker!
These little sticks of paper and powder have captured the imagination of
cultures the world over since the Chinese invented them centuries ago.
As practical, chemical developments in firecracker production proceeded
apace, the popular art form of label design flourished, leaving us with a
remarkable visual record of the myths and cultural attitudes of the
Chinese manufacturers and their markets.
FIRECRACKERS explores the art
form in detail, linking it to history and exploring its relevance in the
various cultures that ceremonialize this peculiar bang. Includes
reproductions of over 100 full-color labels, as well as tips on finding
and saving firecracker art.
