Légende

Panorama of the Ohio - Clearing a Forest, 1850. Display at the Egyptian Hall in London: 'This excellent representation of the "beautiful" American river is worthy of the scene which it professes to depict. It is strongly and truthfully painted, and is especially attractive from its peculiar character. The panorama is a moving one and occupies more than one cylinder. It takes the spectator right through the heart of America, commencing with the Ohio from the mouth of the Miami to the Rapids and Falls, and presenting in its course, now a cultivated city, now a clearing in the wild, and now a forest on fire...The holiday visitor cannot do better than visit the Egyptian Hall, and trace, by means of Mr. Banvard's pictorial realization, the Thames-like windings of the Ohio...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
