Cock: Indian Firework Art is a beautiful collection of artwork that has adorned the packaging for Indian fireworks, presented as a long, fold-out, two-sided continuous seven-metre fan of heavy coated card. The subject matter varies wildly — religious iconography, of course, but also medieval knights, contemporary tanks and materiel, innumerable sexy starlets, wild animals facing down brave hunters, flexing strongmen, holy men and circus scenes. For all the variety, they all share a common trait — they are garish, exuberant and infinitely alluring. Frankly, they make me want to blow stuff up. About half of the images come from Cock-brand fireworks, the rest from a variety of Indian manufacturers. All are lovely — not a dud in the bunch.
