"Inside the Fort"

A set for "Annie Get Your Gun" with painted (trompe l'oeil) staircase

Most of this is painted on, including the staircase, gallery, and flags Look at the bottom of the flats (panels) to see what is real and what isn't. None of the arches or doorways are real. This took a carpenter about four days to make and me about eight days to paint.
Where the flats meet the floor give the game away about what is painted and what is real. The scenery is constructed from boards (hardboard) mounted on wooden frames.
