[Rebus. Polopticomorama.] "The Polopticomorama or battle pictures of Little Round Top [July 2, 1863] turn up the workmanship unparalleled the battle of the ironclads is wonderful of course but time afternoon and Night, every day this week."
An extraordinary surviving contemporaneous American Civil War palm-card rebus announcement for Clapp, Stanley & Co.'s POLOPTICOMORAMA OF THE WAR, [1863] depicts in miniature the Battle of the Ironclads as well as the Battle of Little Round Top. Horizontal image 2 ¾ in x 3 ½ in. The name of Charles E. Berry is written in pencil at the bottom of the rebus. Originally printed on diaphanous paper, this very rare surviving ephemeral announcement, of a theatrical re-enactment of recent battles while the American Civil War still raged, has been cleaned, flattened and backed with mulberry paper. Matted.
