Artifact Overview
John Banvard entertained hundreds of thousands of mid-nineteenth-century Americans with his panorama of the Holy Land. This massive mural -- painted after his trip to the Near East -- depicted historic and religious scenes of Jerusalem and Palestine. For two years, from 1852-1854, audiences in New York City's Georama Theater marveled as each tableau on the canvas scrolled past.
