1842 [old ink mss.]
Letterpress handbill. Sheet 340 x 205mm (13½ x 8"). A few small tears.
A hand bill for a show at Hull's Botanic Garden, with an exhibition of George Danson's immense protean view of the Eruption of Vesuvius: under normal light the painting showed a daytime view of the Bay of Naples but, at the appointed time, back-lighting changed the scene to night, with lava spewing into the air, accompanied by fireworks. George Danson (1799-1881) specialised in panoramas exhibited outside in pleasure gardens, usually first shown at Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, Walworth. This ‘Vast Panorama Al Fresco of Mount Vesuvius’ (first exhibited 1837) was admired by J.M.W. Turner. The 'Southby' mentioned here is J. Southby (d.1865), a self-created ‘Chevalier’, who was the pyrotechnist. Southby created the firework display for the coronation of Queen Victoria in Hyde Park in 1838.
