Susan Boardman -- on -- Gettysburg Cyclorama
Susan Boardman -- On -- Gettysburg Cyclorama The Civil War Roundtable of Chicago March 11, 2011, Chicago, Illinois by: Bruce Allardice ―What is a cyclorama?‖ is a frequent question heard in the visitor center at Gettysburg. In 1884, painter Paul Philippoteaux took brush to canvas to create an experience of gigantic proportion. On a 377-foot painting in the round, he recreated Pickett‘s Charge, the peak of fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg. Four versions were painted, two of which are among the last surviving cycloramas in the United States. When it was first displayed, the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting was so emotionally stirring that grown men openly wept. This was state-of- the-art entertainment for its time, likened to a modern IMAX theater. Today, restored to its original glory, the six ton behemoth is on display at the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center. On March 11, Sue Boardman will describe the genre of cycloramas in general and the American paintings in particular: Why they were made, who made them and how. She will then focus on the Gettysburg cycloramas with specific attention to the very first Chicago version and the one currently on display at the Gettysburg National Military Park (made for Boston). Sue Boardman, a Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide since 2000, is a two-time recipient of the Superintendent‘s Award for Excellence in Guiding. Sue is a recognized expert of not only the Battle of Gettysburg but also the National Park‘s early history including the National Cemetery. Beginning in 2004, Sue served as historical consultant for the Gettysburg Foundation for the new museum project as well as for the massive project to conserve and restore the Gettysburg cyclorama.

How Newark's A. J. Hahne Helped Save the Gettysburg Cyclorama By
Scene from the "Battle of Gettysburg" cyclorama. Author's photo by Suzanne Wray oday visitors to the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg, How Newark’s Pennsylvania can see the Gettysburg Cyclorama, in the new A. J. Hahne TVisitors’ Center. After ascending to a viewing platform, they Helped Save are surrounded by a realistic painting created over 100 years ago, a precursor of the virtual reality we know today. The cyclorama the Gettysburg survives in part due to the efforts of Albert J. Hahne, who purchased Cyclorama the huge painting and displayed it for a time around the atrium of his Newark, NJ department store. Saving the Cyclorama | Suzanne Wray | www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 42 December 2018 Virtual reality and immersive environments are familiar concepts to most today, but less familiar are their precursors. These include the panorama, also called “cyclorama.” In the nineteenth century, viewers could immerse themselves in another world—a city, a landscape, a battlefield—by entering a purpose-built building, and climbing a spiral staircase to step onto a circular viewing platform. A circular painting, painted to be as realistic as possible, surrounded them. A three-dimensional foreground (the “faux terrain” or “diorama”) disguised the point at which the painting ended and the foreground began. The viewing platform hid the bottom of the painting, and an umbrella-shaped “vellum” hung from the roof, hiding the top of the painting and the skylights that admitted light to the building. Cut off from any reference to the outside world, viewers were immersed in the scene surrounding them, giving the sensation of “being there.”1 An Irish artist, Robert Barker (1739–1806), conceived the circular painting and patented the new art form on June 18, 1787.
