Moving panorama

A moving panorama is an art form or entertainment medium that creates the illusion of a continuous, dynamic landscape or scene through a long, scrollable image. Historically used in 19th-century shows and exhibitions, it involves a painted or printed image that slowly unrolls or moves across a viewer’s line of sight, often supported by mechanical devices. This technique allows for immersive storytelling or scenic displays, giving viewers the sensation of traveling through or witnessing a vast, unfolding environment, similar to a modern digital panorama or video background but produced with physical scrolls or tapestries.
