I am working on this task now.
At my recent painting exhibition, there was a backdrop with a large printing of my round painting "Our Upside Down World". After the exhibition, I took this printing sheet back and looked at it recently. It is a 4-ft diameter glossy printing.
The original painting of this, shown at an earlier post, is of size 6 x 6 ft, built up from four 3 x 3 ft painted canvases. At the exhibition, the assembly was hung faced down below the hall ceiling for viewers to stand underneath to look up at it. Also viewers had to bodily rotate themselves to see the eight paintings in the right direction. Hanging this painting under the ceiling was a difficult operation that required a few men.

Now that I have this slightly smaller quality printing, I decided to do something about it. I'd mount this on a 4-ft diam round board and pivot it at the centre. This means it can be rotated when hung up on a wall.
Thus viewers can stand in front and view the eight scenes at the right alignment when the printing is rotated.
Now I have to think through how to make a 4-ft diam mounting board and glue this round printing at the exact position on it. For this, I'd make a central pivot hole on each of them and rely on these two holes to guide me while gluing the two items together at the correct position.
