Newspaper
Review
A review of the diorama in The
Caledonian Mercury on 6 Jan 1842 began:
Having
heard the paintings at Mr Gordon's diorama spoken of in terms of the
highest praise, we paid them a visit the other evening with our
expectations proportionately raised and we must say that all our hopes
were completely realised, for a more wonderful exhibition, whether as
regards the skill of the artist, or ingenuity of the mechanist, we
believe is seldom looked upon. ...
We
understand that on New Year's Day no fewer than 1,500 persons visited
the Diorama. |

THE
DIORAMA, LOTHIAN ROAD
THE
VILLAGE OF THIERS painted by DAGUERRE
This
is one of the most splendid and effective Specimens of Diorama Painting
ever produced by this accomplished artist. The most perfect
illustration, accompanied by beautiful d=effects of alternate
Shade and Sunshine, with the appear4ance of Water, Smoke, &c.
actually in motion, together with the peculiarly romantic character of
the Scenery, render this Exhibition as interesting and delightful as it
is unapproachable by all attempts that have hitherto been made at imitation.
The
COSMORAMA are the Cities of BAGHDAD and GRAND CAIRO; the NILOMETER; and
the TOWN and ISTHMUS of SUEZ
Open
from Ten till dusk (by daylight only)
Admission One shilling. Children and
servants, half price.
