This trade card, created by Joseph Franz Kaiser between 1800 and 1900, advertises the fireworks of Ladislaus Lukassy. The piece features a central image of a bearded man seated amongst elaborate floral designs. Two winged, serpentine creatures flank the figure and point upwards toward the inscription. The card's design uses intricate detailing, characteristic of the Rococo style, to entice viewers to Lukassy's fireworks and the artistry of the pyrotechnic displays.
