-Despite the original creator's demise, the physical panorama itself was brought to South Africa in 1863 as part of the repertoire of a company led by [[J.F. Finlayson]] (who also acted as narrator of the panorama and was the musical director) [[Mr Bowmer]], [[Madame Bowmer]] and [[Miss Whitfield]]. The machinery arrived late, so the panorama was only presented in July of the year. Apparently a great success in Cape Town.

Apparently a great success in Cape Town.
 The company broke up after the presentation and nothing more is heard of the ''[[Panorama of China]]'' in South Africa.
