Here's a pretty good fireworks display, as per the title. This movie is enhanced by some nice hand-tinting, and static fireworks -- thee days we are so accustomed to rockets of various sorts that their use in a static frame, which occurs at the end of this short, seems odd.
There's a bit of debate between the other reviewers whether this was hand-tinted or used producer Charles Urban's Kinemacolor process. Kinemacolor was arguably the first successful color system for motion pictures. However, it wasn't introduced until 1908. Neither did it supplant hand-tinting entirely. It was abandoned in 1915.
