The Gettysburg Cyclorama Painting by Paul Philippoteaux with References
The Gettysburg Cyclorama Painting - In the late 1880s, French artist Paul Philippoteaux took brush to canvas and created the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama painting. He spent months on the battlefield researching the battle with veterans, a battlefield guide and a photographer. It took Philippoteaux and a team of assistants more than a year to complete the painting. The result is a breathtaking canvas that measures 377 feet in circumference and 42 feet high. Longer than a football field and as tall as a four-story structure, the Gettysburg Cyclorama oil painting immerses visitors in the fury of Pickett’s Charge during the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Today the Gettysburg Cyclorama is displayed the way Paul Philippoteaux originally intended with an overhead canopy and a three-dimensional diorama foreground that realistically features stone walls, broken fences, shattered trees and a cannon.
Gettysburg Cyclorama History - Four versions of the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting existed at one time in the United States. The Boston version on exhibit at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center was first exhibited in that city in 1884. The Gettysburg Cyclorama remained in private hands until the National Park Service acquired it in the 1940s.
Over the years, the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting survived fire, leaks, tears, rotting and temperature and humidity fluctuations. To accommodate exhibit spaces over time, the Cyclorama had been sliced into panels and approximately 15 feet of sky had been removed. These combined forces took a toll on the painting, creating seams and bends and causing chips in the paint. By the late 1990s, experts warned that unless the Cyclorama was repaired, this historic object could be lost forever.
Gettysburg Cyclorama Conservation - Repairing the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting required painstaking work by art conservationists under the direction of David Olin, owner of Olin Conservation in Great Falls, Va. Experts repaired unstable sections of the canvas and restored details lost during previous conservation attempts. The conservation of the Gettysburg Cyclorama was the largest effort of its kind to date in North America.
Erin Corrales-Diaz discusses the Battle of Gettysburg as a Panoramic Painting
The Johnson Collection's curator, Erin Corrales-Diaz, discusses the Battle of Gettysburg as a Panoramic Painting. Panoramic Paintings are massive artworks that reveal a wide, all-encompassing view of a particular subject, often a landscape, military battle, or historical event. They became especially popular in the 19th century in Europe and the United States.

The Last Brother: A Civil War Tale, Trinka Hakes Noble (Author)
Age Range: 6 - 9 years. In July 1863 the bloodiest battle of the Civil War was fought outside the sleepy Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. In The Last Brother the story of one small boy is told amidst the dramatic events of those early days of July. Though he is only 11 years old, Gabe is a bugler in the Union Army. He takes his responsibility very seriously; after all, there are over 60 different battle calls for buglers to learn. But what is even more important to Gabe is watching over his older brother Davy who, as a foot soldier, is right in the thick of the fighting. Two of Gabe's older brothers have already perished, and he is not willing to lose the only one he has left. During those long days, Gabe meets another young bugler -- one who fights for the other side. Suddenly, what was so definite and clear has become complicated by friendship and compassion. Does one have to choose between service to country, to kin or to a friend? As the cannons fire and the battle rages on, Gabe must do his duty while searching for a way to honor all that he holds dear.Trinka Hakes Noble is the noted author of numerous award-winning picture books, including The Scarlet Stockings Spy, the ever-popular Jimmy's Boa series and Meanwhile Back at the Ranch (both featured on Reading Rainbow). Her many awards include ALA Notable Children's Book, Booklist Children's Editors' Choice, IRA-CBC Children's Choice, Learning: The Year's Ten Best, and several Junior Literary Guild Selections. Trinka makes her home in Bernardsville, New Jersey. Robert Papp's award-winning artwork includes hundreds of illustrations for major publishers across the United States, and his first children's book, The Scarlet Stockings Spy was named an IRATeacher's Choice in 2005. Robert lives in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Ultimate Civil War Series: 150th Anniversary Edition - Episode 7 Preview
The Ultimate Civil War Series: 150th Anniversary Edition is an All-New 7-part series in High Definition. Total Epic Running time of 353 minutes! On DVD & Blu-Ray!
This incredible new mini-series traces the causes, courses as well as the major events and personalities of the American Civil War as presented during the current 150th anniversary of the War Between the States. From the birth of the abolitionist movement and the wars over slavery in Kansas and Harper's Ferry, through the election of President Abraham Lincoln and the firing on Fort Sumter and all the major battles to the death of President Lincoln and the beginnings of Reconstruction.
Between 1861 and 1865, this epic American story of struggle and survival was written in blood, and in this series is told mostly from first-hand accounts and in the spoken words of the participants themselves, through their diaries, letters, and memoirs. The series concludes with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House and the surrender of the western Confederate Army to Sherman in North Carolina in the spring of 1865. It then explores the legacy of slavery and the consequences and meaning of a war that transformed the country forever.
This is the first Civil War series of its kind produced entirely in vivid 1080 High-Definition, and the only one produced for the current 150th anniversary of the war.
Produced entirely in Richmond, Virginia near the sites of many of the battles depicted and analyzed in the program - Virginia was the central focus of the war with more Civil War battlegrounds than any other state. The project also uses extremely detailed and historically accurate and authentic recreations. These incredible Re-enactments feature more than 20,000 re-enactors from around the world at sites in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The project also features hundreds of original civil war photographs and artwork from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and the United States Army Center of Military History as well as original new paintings from historian and artist Dan Nance.

The White House Exterior Building Outside Garden Fountain Lawns on Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC
The White House Exterior Building Outside Garden Fountain and Lawns on Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC - - The White House at address - 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20500 USA - is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States -- President Barrack Obama. The house was designed by James Hoban, born in County Kilkenny Ireland, and was constructed between 1792 and 1800. It has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams - the second President of the United States (1797--1801). The house was set on fire by the British in 1814 during the Burning of Washington, and the interior of the building was destroyed. Almost immediately a rebuilding programme was initiated and President James Monroe was able to move into the partially rebuilt house in October 1817. During the lifetime of the building there have been a number of significant redesigns, mainly with the interior. This should not come as a surprise as is is the President's house and each president has added their own touch with redecoration, expansions, and additions. The last significant renovation came under the direction of President Harry S. Truman who was in office - April 12th 1945 -- January 20th 1953. However, many of the antiques, artworks, and decorations, within the White House today are attributed to the style of former first lady Jackie Kennedy.
