  • Chris Tempro misspelled “panorama” with all “A’s” for vowels. The judges were asleep. They have to make this right and give the win to Lauren Gilmore.

    • Andy Saunders | May 2, 2016 at 9:13 pm | Reply

      Sorry, but you’re allowed to misspell if it doesn’t change the pronunciation. No wrongdoing here.

  • When Robert Barker initially came to London from Edinburgh, in November of 1788, hoping to make his fortune with his new form of public entertainment, the panorama, he had to find a place to display his massive painting. Like many panorama artists and proprietors were to do for decades after 1802, when Barker’s exclusive patent on the panorama concept expired, he rented a large room at No. 28, Haymarket. Here, on 14 March 1789, he opened to the public the exhibit of his first panorama, the view of Edinburgh from the top of Carlton Hill. Attendance was not what he had hoped, and reasoning Londoners would be more interested in a panorama of their own city, he began a new, even larger panorama, with the help of his son, Henry Aston Barker, of a 360-degree view of the English capital.
