Interesting. I've seen both the Gettysburg and Atlanta cycloramas. Jim |

It underwent a multimillion-dollar restoration from 2004-08–and now hangs as the centerpiece of the cyclorama building at the Museum & Visitor Center. |

In the late 60s a little hobby shop in Quebec had a really nice one. From the river level to the Plains of Abraham was about 20". Nice. |

I saw the cyclorama at Gettysburg many years ago.
I have the booklet showing the Atlanta cyclorama, which my grandparents brought me (again) many years ago.
My grandfather had been with the 35th Infantry Division at the Meuse-Argonne. The story in the family is that he had a terrible night after seeing the cyclorama: it just brought back too many memories of 1918. Grelber |
