This is quite the firework show for 1769. What on earth did the cannons look like? That is a considerable distance away. In my estimation, the diameter of these fireworks would be several times the diameter of the main building in this illustration.

And by the way, take a look at the year engraving on the pillars. It was lazily drawn in after the illustration was done. It isn't even centered. What a joke. This could be a completely different time period all together.

Not to mention, the other inscriptions look very unoriginal to the illustration. It is likely someone drew them in a long time after.
