EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Royal Coronation Fireworks, 17th Century" takes us back in time to witness a grand celebration of regal proportions. Set against the backdrop of the Thames River in London, England, this historical moment showcases the extravagant fireworks display that illuminated the night sky during a royal coronation ceremony. The scene is filled with an array of cultural symbols and figures. A majestic statue stands tall as it represents Neptune, the Roman god of water and sea. The presence of swans adds elegance to the composition while emphasizing Britain's connection to its maritime history. Amidst all this splendor, we see a diverse group of people - men and women from different walks of life - coming together to witness this extraordinary event. The explosion of lights and colors creates an artificial sun that casts a magical glow over Whitehall, where the festivities are taking place. This visual spectacle symbolizes not only the power and glory associated with monarchy but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating such mesmerizing displays. As we delve into history through this monochrome artwork by Martin Beckman, we are reminded of King James II's reign in 1685 and his queen consort Mary Modena's significant role during their coronation celebrations. This image captures both the physical chemistry behind firework explosions and their cultural significance within European society at that time. Preserved by General Research Division/New York Public Library/Science Photo Library, this print allows us to appreciate how art can transport us back centuries
