Louis de Carmontelle was an 18th-century French draftsman, painter, and garden designer. In 1783, he began painting a series of panoramas on translucent paper that, when cranked through a backlit viewing box gave viewers the experience of journeying through beautiful landscapes. This title offers glimpse into the beginnings of the moving image.
