ST.LOUIS POST DISPATCH,March 29,1889,p.3
William Young, who has had long experience and remarkable success in handling cyclorama paintings,is taking down the painting of the SECOND BATTLE OF BULL RUN at the Cyclorama building.//I am writing the first book from the American point of view about 19th century rotunda panoramas.These were the biggest paintings in the world, 50 x 400=20,000 square feet, housed in their own rotundas which were 16-sided polygons. Chicago in 1893 had 6 panorama companies and 6 panorama rotundas.Info to share.
