Fonds
Identifier: Coll-2886
Scope and Contents
This is a circular orientation key plate created by Pierre Prévost for his early 19th-century panorama of Paris. This item helped visitors identify landmarks in his large-scale 360-degree panorama, exhibited in Vienna in 1814. The vantage point for both the panorama and the key was the roof of Napoleon’s Pavillon de Flore at the Tuileries. The text around the anamorphic image is in French, with the central giving the captions in German.
