EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the construction site of the Panama Canal in 1890. The image captures a view of Gold Hill, one year after the French effort to build this monumental engineering feat had collapsed. It is fascinating to witness how construction resumed in 1904 under the guidance of the United States. The photograph showcases an industrious scene filled with workers tirelessly excavating and shaping the land. The presence of a railroad track adds a sense of scale and highlights the importance of transportation during this ambitious project. A steam-powered train can be seen on the track, symbolizing progress and innovation at that time. This original souvenir photopostcard from Panama City provides us with a glimpse into Latin America's rich history and its significant contributions to global industry. It serves as a reminder of human determination and perseverance in overcoming challenges. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how laborers worked diligently amidst difficult conditions to shape what would become one of mankind's greatest achievements: The Panama Canal. Let us appreciate their tireless efforts as they laid down foundations for future generations' prosperity and connectivity across continents.
