Winter Panoramas

  • Lee Williams

In praise of Irish or Scottish (depending on who you ask) portraitist Robert Barker, who in 1787 patented a new method of displaying a landscape image. He coined the word "panorama", from Greek pan ("all") horama ("view"). Barker's proposal was to exhibit a painted landscape in a 360-degree view, on a circular canvas strip surrounding the viewer. As technology progressed in the form of photography, panoramas were made by placing two or more daguerreotype plates side-by-side. At the time Daguerreotypes were the first commercially available photographic process, using silver-coated copper plates to produce highly detailed images. While panoramas typically show a wide expansive view, there are a few here that are of a more intimate nature, but still capture a view wider than my lens/camera combination are capable of producing.
