Body

These Heidwohl cirkuts included church groups, fire and police departments, sports teams, school classes, clubs and fraternal organizations, college classes at Shepherd College, landscapes including views across the Potomac at Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown, as well as the penal farm and the water treatment plant. The Cirkut camera captured a panoramic image by pivoting horizontally (along a vertical axis), while a roll of film moved across the film plane.
