Description
The Mareorama - 1900 Paris Exposition
Details
The Mareorama - an entertainment attraction at the 1900 Paris Exposition, created by Hugo d'Alesi, a painter of advertising posters. A combination of moving panoramic paintings and a large motion platform in the form of an ocean-going steamer. It is regarded as one of the last major developments in the technology of panoramas, shortly before the medium became obsolete. The Mareorama simultaneously developed two panoramas in motion to the delight of the spectators, who placed themselves among them to create the illusion of being on the deck of a ship taking a simulated voyage from Villefranche to Constantinople, passing by Sousse, Naples, and Venice!
