"Felice Beato started to make panoramas early in his career, and they became one of his specialties.... The panorama's large size and sweeping scope afforded the illusion of continuity in time and thus could convey a sense of narrative" (Lacoste, Felice Beato: A Photographer on the Eastern Road, pp.8-9).
