About this Item
A rare (unique?) broadside announcing a fireworks display at the river Elbe (Dresden), organized by Franz Kölbel, a famed pyrotechnician from Graz (Austria). The show was held on 5 September 1829, and reviewed in the Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Literatur, Theater und Mode. The paper praised the spectacular rockets, "deren ausgeworfenen Sterne so lange fortschimmerten und so hoch in den Lüften hin schwebten, dass sie sich unter die wirklichen Sterne zu verlieren schienen". Franz Köbel also sold fireworks at his shop in Graz.Some soiling and staining, edges frayed, damaged at 2 folds (small repairs). Overall in good condition.l Cf. Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Literatur, Theater und Mode 118 (1 Oct. 1829), p. 979; for Kölbel: Steiermärckisches Intelligenzblatt zur Grätzer Zeitung 45 (21 March 1842), p. 172; not in KVK; WorldCat.
