Library of Congress:
The Panoramic Photograph Collection contains approximately four
thousand images. These panoramas offer an overview of the nation, its
enterprises and its interests, with a focus on the start of the
twentieth century when the panoramic photo format was at the height of
its popularity. The images date from 1851 to 1991 and depict scenes in
all fifty states and the District of Columbia. More than twenty foreign
countries and a few U.S. territories are also represented. These
panoramas average between twenty-eight inches and six feet in length,
with an average width of ten inches. Most are World War I and earlier.
And, yes, you CAN view them at home on your own computer.
