America by the Yard: Cirkut Camera: Images from the Early Twentieth Century

With its astonishing collection of American early panoramic photographs, this book is both a history of an unusual camera and a splendid display of what it produced. Cirkut cameras were used to record scenic vistas, gatherings and epic events. Here, with many fold-outs that show the prints in their full glory, are such historic moments as the building of the Panama Canal, the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and the 1908 Wellesley graduating class, along with more mundane but equally fascinating subjects.
