Edward James Austen(1850-1930) was the best known panoramist in USA.
I am writing the first book from the American point of view about 19th c.rotunda panoramas.These were the biggest paintings in the world,50 x 400=20,000 square feet, housed in their own rotundas which were 16-sided polygons.Chicago in 1893 had 6 panorama companies and 6 panorama rotundas. These artists of the Reed & Gross panorama studio of Chicago/Englewood in the attached photo are identified from left to right:Dr.Ernest Pierpont (1854-1905),Cephas Henry Collins (1844-1942);Freeman Frederick Gross(1859-1944);Edward James Austen(1850-1930);Oliver Dennett Grover(1861-1927);John Octavius Anderson (1856-1898);Albert Grantley Reinhart (1854-1926);John Henry Twachtman (1853-1902). These artists are posed before a unit of the BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG panorama ; photo by T.W.Ingersoll,40 East Third Street, St. Paul, Minnesota. I have much info to share.
