Panoramic view of Pagân, looking N.N.W.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Panoramic view of Pagân,’ ‘looking N.N.W.’
COMPLETES the Panorama of the one-time city of Forty-five Kings. This section includes the town, and it will be observed repeats the steamers and other objects about the ‘Boo-Phya’ or Pumpkin Pagoda. This is accounted for by its having been impracticable to sketch the whole circle from one spot. The formation of the Temple, from whence the views were taken, rendered it necessary to shift — probably fifty feet — from side to side of the building, in order to obtain the different sections of the landscape around. Making allowance for the apparent trifling inaccuracy thus created, the artist thinks it may not be unnecessary or unimportant to add that, having used some little ordinary mechanical aid, in order to fix the position of the principal objects in the landscape, he believes every reliance may be placed on the entire and strict accuracy of the general details of these drawings as a Panorama.
