This 360-degree panoramic photograph of the frieze was made upon the completion of the 1994 conservation project. The scaffold used by the conservators was removed to the center of the Rotunda. A computer-controlled Roundshot Super revolving camera was positioned on top of the scaffold in the exact center of the room, approximately 50 feet from the wall and 65 feet above the floor. Several exposures were made on color and black-and-white film. The 180mm lens produced an image 1-1/2 inches high and 64 inches long. |
