New page

Albert Smith's "China" panorama was originally exhibited at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly, London, in 1859.

The ''[[Panorama of China]]'' was a [[panorama|panoramic]] theatrical illusion devised by Abert Smith and brought to South Africa in 1863 as part of the repertoire of a company led by J.F. Finlayson (also narrator and 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.

The company broke up after the presentation and nothing more is heard of the ''[[Panorama of China]]''.
