Springfield, Mass: Milton Bradley & Co. , 1866 1 box with a roll of paper: col. ill.; 5 1/8” x 8 1/8” (ca. 1866-ca. 1868]. References: James J. Shea. It's all in the game. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1960, pp. 78-85; Inez McClintock. Toys in America. Washington, DC: Public Affairs Press, 1961, pp. 225, 262. The toy contains a panorama of twenty-two Civil War scenes mounted on two rollers that can be turned by a key. This causes the panorama to pass across the proscenium, allowing the viewer to see a performance of selected events from the war. The scene displayed here - the firing on Fort Sumter by General Anderson and his men - is the first on the roll. The myriopticon ends with a view of the burning and evacuation of Richmond by Confederate troops. .
