A 1904 panorama in Leicester Square showcased a “Portion of Sydney, New South Wales, the Harbor of Fort Jackson and Surrounding Country.” The display aimed to correct British misunderstandings of Australia while profiting from instructional appeal, with a pamphlet and pamphlet sketch accompanying the exhibit. The panorama, reproduced in the Evening News Christmas Supplement, mixed recognisable scenes but placed them in confusing juxtaposition.
