The Stage
should rest upon a table, and be lighted by a row of small Christmas-tree candles, or common candles cut off and made short.
Whatever lights are used, care should be taken to place them so that there will be no danger from fire.
Of course it is not absolutely necessary to use candles for
Footlights.
Any sort of light which will illuminate the panorama without obstructing the view of the audience, will answer the purpose; but it is absolutely necessary to have no other lights burning in the room while the panorama is being exhibited. All the light must be centred upon the pictures.

How the Panorama Box
is built. There are two holes bored through the top board and through the upper bottom board, but not through the lower bottom board. A glance at the diagram will show you that there are two bottom boards, fitting closely together.
