Booklet, 6” x 9”, Boston, M.J. Kiley, 1886, retains its original illustrated covers, VG. Souvenir program for the exhibition of the panoramic painting of The Battle of Gettysburg by Paul Philippoteaux, which showed Pickett's famed and disastrous charge. The titlepage notes that the cyclorama is "located in Boston, Mass. at 541 Tremont Street." The panoramic painting, some 27 x 359 feet in length, was displayed in a circular room; the 15” x 17,” folding plate in the present pamphlet shows a sketch of the painting in a large circle with a numbered key to the action, designed for the reader to use while walking around the room. An account of the Battle and Pickett's charge is included, and the program contains many local advertisements. The original painting is now in the museum at Gettysburg.
