As we observe this scene, we can imagine how these mesmerizing fireworks illuminated not only the night sky but also reflected upon the tranquil waters nearby. Intriguingly, this print offers more than just an aesthetically pleasing image; it provides insight into historical entertainments and cultural practices during that era.
