Winslow Homer focuses on the reaction of the spectators watching a New York City Fourth of July fireworks display instead of the pyrotechnics themselves. In the far distance, viewers seem to be looking upward. But in the foreground, a firework collides with a gentleman’s top hat causing visible dismay to the people nearby.
