Rows of uniformed men stand shoulder to shoulder across an open field, their ranks stretching almost to the edge of the frame, which is what sets this panoramic view apart from closer parade shots. Panoramic cameras of this kind were used to capture large assemblies whole, so a single exposure could record hundreds of participants and the ground they stood on. Images like this give historians a rare sense of scale, showing how many people turned out for a single occasion and how carefully they were arranged. Look along the back rows to see how the formation holds its alignment toward the far end of the field.
