Gene Meier
Harry Aiken Vincent and Rotunda Panoramas
I am writing the first book from the American point of view about rotunda panoramas, the biggest paintings in the world, 50 x 400=20,000 square feet, that were housed in their own rotundas which were 16 sided polygons. Chicago in 1893 had 6 panorama companies and 6 panorama rotundas. Joseph Pierre Birren, a Chicago panoramist who worked for Howard H.Gross, kept a diary about the 1888 fieldtrip to Denver to paint THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG:"our party consisted of C.H.Collins,F.Peyraud, HARRY VINCENT, Rogers,two Denver gentlemen and myself."

I write about rotunda panoramas.Where stood exactly the Reed/Pierpont/Gross studio"by the Rock Island railway tracks in Englewood-a monster turret of wood, whose doors are closed to all visitors except those accompanied by the proprietor, Dr.Pierpont"...?

IT'S AN 8X10 WITH A GREEN BOAT WITH A BLUE STRIPE AND A SMALL ROW BOAT,WHITE WITH RED IN FRONT OF THE GREEN ONE. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER SHIPS BY THE DOCK WITH A RED BUILDING. ANY INFO OUT THERE?
