R. A. Lafferty extended the cyclorama concept to become "The Longest Pictures in the World," which showed the Mississippi River shore in minute detail. In Lafferty's 1970 short story "All Pieces of a River Shore," a collector searches for fragments of the picture, which had been displayed in hundred-yard sections by travelling shows a century earlier. A Stack Exchange answer [1] describes the story in detail.
