Even then, it was a private and not an official commission. |
| 56 . | One such example was the construction of a panorama in Paris, which one critic described as having been so real that he was ‘transported to the scene’ (Maurice Samuels, ‘Realizing the Past: History and the Spectacle in Balzac’s Adieu ’, Representations , 79 (2002), 86). |
