Wenceslaus Hollar’s nocturnal scene of innovative pyrotechnics vividly marks the culmination of a series of four prints depicting triumphal processions and other festivities held for the Imperial Postmaster General of the Holy Roman Emperor, the Count of Thurn and Taxis, and his wife on their visit to Hemissem, the home of Alexander Roelants, Postmaster General of the Netherlands.
