Four sections (above) from the original "The Grand Moving Panorama of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress", 1850. Use your scrollbar to move across the painting slowly, to imagine how it may have appeared in 1850. When not on tour and exhibition, this Panorama resides at the York Institute in Saco, Maine.	<< RETURN TO BEGINNING
Rediscovered one hundred years after having been given as a gift, these four individually painted scenes are joined to give an impression of what a giant Moving Panorama may have looked like in 1850. In its original state, The Grand Moving Panorama of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress would have been eight feet tall by approximately 900 feet long. Just like today, it would have taken two hours to watch.
