Abstract: This essay examines the emergence of the moving panorama as a transformative exhibition format in early nineteenth-century Britain, highlighting its innovative networked model of show business, which prefigured later entertainment industries. Focusing on Peter and William Marshall, the most significant exhibitors of moving panoramas during the 1820s, the essay maps their extensive touring operations across Britain and Europe, revealing the unprecedented scale and organization of their enterprise. Drawing on archival sources, advertisements, and contemporary accounts, it situates the moving panorama within broader cultural shifts, including urbanization, improved transportation, and evolving leisure practices. The essay argues that moving panoramas, with their portability, narrative appeal, and immersive qualities, played a crucial role in shaping popular memory and fostering a collective experience of national and global events. The mobility and circulation of these exhibitions made panoramas especially dynamic agents of cultural change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
