Indeed, the list of surviving moving panorama’s in Erkki’s book is describing ‘Army of the Cumberland’, preserved in the Smithsonian.
But of course, this a question for Erkii
All best,

Intersting. I wonder if he came to the Smithsonian. I'm rather sure one of our departments has a nearly complete panorama, poss. recently conserved. Will have to check. xopf

Dear List members,
Professor Erkki Huhtamo's new book 'Illusions in Motion: Media Archaeology of the Moving Panorama and Related Spectacles' has been just published by the MIT Press.
It is a huge exploration of media culture between the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries.
See: http://www.visual-media.eu/publications_books_pre-film.html
The centerpoint is the moving panorama, once a hugely popular media spectacle, which has been nearly completely forgotten. The book brings it back to living memory, also discussing its relationships with other spectacles, such as dioramas and magic lantern shows.
It also investigates how panoramas inspired writers, scientists, philosophers and cultural commentators. The work took more than a decade to research and write, and is meant as a demonstration of what a media-archaeological approach can achieve.
The book is richly illustrated with material from Huhtamo's media-archaeological collections, and was magnificently designed by UCLA Design Media Arts Chair Willem Henri Lucas and Jon Gacnik.
A review by Visual Media is coming soon.
Best wishes,
Thomas
