Historic images of both Victorian / Modern Dioramas.

The current, popular understanding of the term “diorama” denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment. Frank M. Chapman, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, helped popularize the style commonly seen today. Modern museum dioramas may be seen in most major natural history museums. Typically, these displays use a tilted plane to represent what would otherwise be a level surface, a painted background of distant objects, and often employ false perspective, carefully modifying the scale of objects placed on the plane to reinforce the illusion through depth perception of viewing a larger space—representations of objects (of identical real-world size) placed further from the observer are smaller than those closer. Often the distant painted background or sky will be painted upon a continuous curved surface so that the viewer is not distracted by corners, seams, or edges. All of these techniques are means of presenting a realistic view of a large scene in a compact space. That said modern day attemps using small bow back cases are rather laughable as it is the size required to achieve depth and perspective, not merely having a bow back to the case.

Dioramas and their use in displaying Taxidermy.

Impressive image inside New York's premier musuem of taxidermy. Taken during a recent visit to the establishment (August 2009, we have the resources to do this on a whim). We have all the dioramas in focus, ready for the images to be stolen, no matter we find these actions amusing rather than insulting!
