GENERAL VIEW OF THE CHASE ELECTRIC CYCLORAMA.
An ordinary panorama building is used; spectators stand upon the floor of a cylindrical chamber one hundred feet in diameter and thirty feet in height. Upon the walls are thrown photographs placed in a projecting apparatus suspended from the center of the scenery, after the manner of a chandelier.
Our first [engraving] gives a general view of the panorama as used at the “Chicago Fire” cyclorama. Our second [engraving] shows the projection apparatus, and our [third] where a battery of lanterns are used, showing the lantern carriages. Nothing more is required to convert an ordinary cyclorama into an electric cyclorama than to paint the back canvas white and to suspend the platform in the center of the building.
