Not on view

This etching shows in detail, a display of rockets and Catherine wheels. A miniature fireworks citadel was a special feature, and a large force of troops, horse, and foot, was on hand with a park of artillery. Like many Nuremberg shows, this was held in the famous St. Johannes Schussplatz.
