Seeking to provide a truly immersive experience, these vast paintings gave a 'panoramic' view (term first printed 1813), most commonly of foreign climbs - this collection including Athens, Bern, Berlin, Corfu, Edinburgh, Jerusalem, Mexico City, Paris, Pompeii, Spitzbergen and Venice - and also, often during the Napoleonic wars, detailed battle scenes - as here with Algiers and Vittoria. Most of these are exhibited at the Panorama in Leicester Square or the Strand, curated by artists Henry Aston Barker and J. Burford. Other pamphlets cover a painting by Benjamin West, an exhibition of the Imperial State Carriage of Burma, the discovery of an Egyptian tomb, and the phenomenon of the 'living skeleton'.
