This print titled "Fireworks From Gonnes And Bowes" takes us back to the medieval era, specifically the 17th century. The illustration from Thomas Smith's Art of Gunnery, published in 1643, showcases a unique and unconventional method of shooting fireworks or incendiaries using both a gun and a bow. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the weaponry and warfare tactics employed during that time. The image features soldiers equipped with bows and arrows alongside firearms, demonstrating the fusion of traditional archery with emerging firearm technology. This combination highlights the evolution of weapons throughout history as well as the adaptability of soldiers on the battlefield. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and danger associated with these explosive projectiles being launched through both ancient means. The vibrant colors bursting across the sky symbolize not only their destructive power but also their ability to mesmerize spectators. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where fire played a significant role in military strategies. It serves as a reminder of how innovation often arises from necessity during times of conflict. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate this historical moment while contemplating humanity's continuous quest for more effective methods of warfare.
