Although there are examples of Richard using a panorama format going back to 1918, the 1938 Redfern show seems to be a turning point where he starts to choose the format regularly, going on to use it for around 150 works.

There were three panoramas in the 1938 Refern show:
"Low Tide, Porthleven” (1937), the longest at approximately 50 x 178 cm, National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne, Australia
This one "Mousehole Harbour, Cornwall” (1937), also quite large at 62 x 166 cm
“Constantine, Cornwall” (1937) a little smaller at 46 x 126 cm, whereabouts unknown.
