M. GOMPERTZ, Proprietor and Artist of this Exhibition, encou-
raged by the universal success which has attended his profes-
sional labours as a Panoramic Exhibitor during the last twenty
years, in introducing to the Liverpool Public his Panorama of
that all-absorbing subject, the Crimean War, begs to state that
it has occupied upwards of a year and a half in completing, the
first part, illustrating the City of Constantinople, having been
commenced in Feb., 1854; and the work prosecuted as the various
sketches were received by him from the seat of war, in order to
afford facilities for rendering the scenic, nautical, and animated
portraiture, with the most natural effect. Each view is executed
upon 450 square feet of canvas—a size hitherto unattained by
any Exhibition of this description.
