Panoramic View of Venice (1897) Online

"Still another panoramic of 'Venice the Beautiful.' It is taken from a launch under rapid headway on the Grand Canal. This picture is remarkably stereoscopic, and has been received with great applause wherever it has been shown. In it the ill-fated Campanile appears."

It's been just a couple of weeks since lower Manhattan and much of the outlying boroughs of New York City were flooded. Wall Street was under a couple of feet of water. As a result, looking at this picture of Venice, in which the buildings' foundation lie beneath the water.... well, it's startling and a bit terrifying.

At this stage in film's history, a panorama shot was a moving shot. In this case, a camera was placed on a Venetian gondola and moved slowly through a canal. It wouldn't be until the middle of the next decade that it would acquire its current meaning -- a pan shot -- of a camera rotated to offer a wider view of a subject.
