I've started watching the digitized version and love it--the detail, the style! (And I like the way the digitized version has remarks from people of the day)
I'm really glad they put it online. It is full of information in its own right and better than not being able to see it at all.
I would love to see this in real life. I'll have to propose a road trip to Wakanomori--oh but wait, next two days. I'm not sure that's possible. DAMN.
I'm sorry! Can you get away on Monday?
(I feel responsible for being the harbinger of last-minute news, even though I know it couldn't have been timed differently as a birthday present.)
Japanese handscrolls "read" in this manner, right to left, and they're the thing this most reminds me of--but they're not on this monumental scale!
Oh, that's neat. How much opportunity would Russell—or Purrington, but I assume Russell got closer in person—have had to see those in the early 1840's? I know the panorama itself was a European invention, but that's irrelevant where individual influences are concerned.
