Such panoramas were immersive but static. There were other panoramas that moved--hundreds, and probably thousands of them. Their history has been largely forgotten. In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making. The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a "window" by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera houses to church halls, creating a market for mediated realities in both city and country. In the first history of this phenomenon, Huhtamo analyzes the moving panorama in all its complexity, investigating its relationship to other media and its role in the culture of its time. In his telling, the panorama becomes a window for observing media in operation. Huhtamo explores such topics as cultural forms that anticipated the moving panorama; theatrical panoramas; the diorama; the "panoramania" of the 1850s and the career of Albert Smith, the most successful showman of that era; competition with magic lantern shows; the final flowering of the panorama in the late nineteenth century; and the panorama's afterlife as a topos, traced through its evocation in literature, journalism, science, philosophy, and propaganda. 410 0$aLeonardo Book 606 $aPanoramas 606 $aPanoramas$xPsychological aspects 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aPopular culture 615 0$aPanoramas. 615 0$aPanoramas$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 0$aPopular culture. 676 $a751.7/4 700 $aHuhtamo$b Erkki$01101010 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965969403321 996 $aIllusions in motion$94421699 997 $aUNINA
