-Lot of 5. 1) Unique full 360 degree panorama of a popular downtown ice skating venue. The framed & matted color print measures 60"x20", and was shot by David Orbach of Baltimore, MD. The full circle perspective is quite interesting. 2) A large color panorama of the stately Museum taken in the wintertime. The photographer`s name is David D. Orbock, of Aulcherama Photo, from Baltimore. Framed and matted, 48" x 18". There is a low winter sun reflected in the lake that fronts the large building, with leafless trees in the foreground and background. The Museum was opened in 1933, and is one of the largest of its type in the world, housing over 35,000 artifacts, and sits on 14 acres. 3) A similarly composed shot of the famous cherry trees blooming in Washinton DC. There is fog in this picture, which contributes to the surreal effect. Framed and matted, 48" x 18".4) Large 54"x23" dramatic color photo of the Chicago skyline taken at twilight. The photo was taken with a V-Pan Mark III camera using Fuji Velvia film. The photographer`s name is Joseph H. Jacobson. This skyline boasts 3 of America`s 5 tallest buildings, including large towers such as the Willis (formerly the Sears tower) which is still the tallest building in the US at 1450`, along with the CAN tower, AON Center, John Hancock Building, and 2 Prudential Plaza, to name a few. The colors in this photograph are striking. Fully framed and matted. 5) Large 63"x13.5" B & W of the "Century of Progress Worlds Fair Exposition" shoreline. Sweeping panorama of all the prominent buildings and landmarks for the 1933 exposition. All the important features are identified on the photograph. The overall view is out across the shoreline onto Lake Michigan. There are blimps floating in the sky above. The photographer is unknown, however the camera was the famous Rotational Cirkut #10 camera that has taken so many of the finest panoramas. This Worlds Fair Exposition was to celebrate science, light and color. The photo is framed in an older style wooden frame, and overall is in excellent condition. HKA#64658
