To add to the series above, here's a depiction that gets thrown around a lot. From the Palace of Versailles, 1664 apparently. Weird way to draw fireworks.

France, 1869? This would predate Edison's light bulb reveal by 10 years.

We have tried translating the text of this depiction but there isn't much to go off of as far as I have read. Clearly it says "feierwerks" but unless you want to tell me that you have ever seen fireworks that look exactly like electricity coming out of an instrument that is shaped exactly like a lightning bolt then I think it is safe to say that their definition of "fireworks" included electricity. Thousands of years of man seeing lightning bolts and no one thought to figure out how to harness it before Ben Franklin in 1752?
It's electricity. Come on. Look at it.
