The Panorama of the Thames (1829): Published on this date, this famous "strip panorama" allowed viewers to see both banks of the river Thames in a single, continuous, folding book.

Todays Challenge: "The Dual-Shore Pano." Find a river or a long street. Capture a panorama of one side, then cross over and capture the other. Combine them into a "top and bottom" view of the same path.

Pano Inspiration: This panorama was sold as a "pocket-sized" luxury item, allowing people to take the entire river home with them in their coat pocket.
