Title	Panorama Mouvant
Text to be translated Submitted by DazedAndConfused	Source language: French Suit un panorama mouvant, brossÃ© Ã grands traits, dont l'impressario, armÃ© de sa baguette dÃ©monstrative, doit expliquer au public les principaux sujets: -- Traversons la vallÃ©e du San Miguel et de l'Atascosa. Sur ce petit promontoire escarpÃ©, le chalet qui se cache au milieu des cÃ¨dres Ã©tait l'Ã©picerie du canton.
Remarks about the translation	Civil War (War of Secession) era letter written by native French speaker for a Belgian periodical in 1862. Location: south Texas. I fully understand the literal meaning but do not understand the author's literary device (perhaps what's referred to as a "tableau vivant" in English literature??) U. S. English please.
