[1]Gorgeous, illustrated Japanese fireworks catalogs from the early
  1900s:

    The Yokohama Board of Education has [2]posted scans of six fantastic
    catalogs from Hirayama Fireworks and Yokoi Fireworks, dating from
    the early 1900s. The illustrated catalogs are superb, with minimal
    words: just beautiful colored drawings depicting the burst-pattern
    from each rocket.
