THE ERA OP THE PANORAMA The nineteenth century can conveniently be given a number of different labels or titles as far as its political, economic, or social developments are concerned. It can be called the century of industrial growth or the period of imperialistic expansion. Or, the summation of its characteristics can be suitably labeled Victorian. But as far as its pictorial entertainment tastes were concerned, it should be called most expressively, perhaps, the Era of the Panorama. No single entertainment factor or device better sums up the tastes and attitudes of the nineteenth century than the panorama in all of its various forms. No single genre of painting indicates more clearly the artistic fancies of the Victorian public, nor can any one theatrical device more distinctly stamp the theatrical appetites or the amusement pleasures of the period. The panorama, as an exhibition hall display or as a form of theatrical scenery, was one of the most popular visual spectacles of the nineteenth century. Year in and year out, from the first decades of the nineteenth century into the early years of the twentieth, the American and European public attended panoramic exhibitions in great numbers. Prom the panoramas they received artistic satisfaction, amusement, edification, and education. The panorama itself took many different forms and was made available to the public in a number of ways. There were the huge, circular panoramas, which required special rotunda-like buildings, and were so large that the spectator felt dwarfed as he looked at the paintings. There were the moving panoramic displays, which were set up in halls, theatres, and church auditoriums and allowed the spectators to watch thousands of feet of painted canvas pass before their eyes. And, finally, there were the specifically scenic theatrical panoramas, which were used in a variety of ways to provide moving background scenery for dramatic actions. All of these forms were closely related, not only in their origins and in the visual effects which they produced, but, more significantly, in the way in which the public regarded them as one kind of entertainment, regardless.of the manner of their employment. To the nineteenth-century public, a panorama was a visual spectacle. That was its appeal; and it was of little importance that the panorama might one day be seen in an immense rotunda

Fores, 41 Piccadily, 1833. Two separate discs; with vibrantly-coloured lithographic images on circular card-stock (with diameters of 23 cm.). Both discs featuring two-tier narratives; the first, with festive subject of music and drinking/dancing (with 10 images and 10 apertures), the second featuring a chap in Tam o' shanter, jumping over a ball and performing a jig (with 12 images and 12 apertures). £ 350 each (w/ modern facsimile handle available for additional £ 120) Being some of the earliest pre-cinema devices—most often attributed either to either Joseph Plateau of Belgium or the Austrian Stampfer, circa 1832—phenakistiscopes (sometimes called fantascopes) functioned as indirect media, requiring a mirror through which to view the rotating discs, with the discrete illustrations activated into a singular animation through the interruption-pattern produced by the set of punched apertures. The early discs offered here were issued from the Piccadily premises of Samuel William Fores (1761-1838)—not long after Ackermann first introduced the format into London. Fores had already become prolific in the publishing and marketing of caricatures, and was here trying to leverage his expertise for the newest form of popular entertainment, with his Fores’s moving panorama. 02 Anonymous Phenakistiscope discs.

  • A 'Proper Point of View'
    A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University Abstract: The panorama entered the world not as a visual format but as a claim: to lure viewers into seeing in a particular way. Robert Barker’s 1781 patent for a 360-degree painting emphasized the construction of a ‘proper point of view’ as a means of making the viewer ‘feel as if really on the spot.’ This situating strategy would, over the following centuries, take many forms, both within the world of the painted panorama and its photographic, magic lantern, and cinematic counterparts. This essay charts some of the unexpected twists and turns of this strategy, exploring among others the moving panorama (both as a parallel development to the cinematic moving picture and as deployed by the film medium as a background to suggest movement) and the relations between the spatial promise of the late 19th century stereoscope and that most populous of early motion picture titles, the panorama. The essay focuses on changing technologies and strategies for achieving Barker’s initial goals, while attending to the implications for the viewer. Drawing from the observations of scholars as diverse as Bentham, Foucault, and Crary, the essay uses the various iterations of the panorama to explore the implications of a particularly rich strand of technologies of seeing. William Uricchio is professor and director of Comparative Media Studies at MIT and professor of Comparative Media History at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. 1 A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations1 Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17460654.2011.601165 William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University 'I don't have eyes in the back of my head….' is a well known expression.
