EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us on a visual journey along the route of the Panama Canal in 1883. The print is divided into ten distinct scenes, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this monumental engineering feat. Starting at the Pacific end of the canal, we see the bustling City of Panama with its iconic cross marking the mouth of the canal. As we move along, our last glimpse of Panama reveals its vibrant and diverse landscape. The image then shifts to showcase various canal works and infrastructure, including the Panama Railway at Culebra and Buenevista Valley. We witness cutting activities at Gatoon and Chagres River while a steam navvy diligently carries out its work. The print also highlights important elements such as dredging near Colon's mouth and showcases both positive progress and challenges faced during construction. An engraving depicts how malaria had an adverse effect on workers' health, emphasizing one of many obstacles encountered during this ambitious project. Overall, this historic artwork provides a fascinating window into 19th-century engineering marvels through intricate illustrative techniques. Its retro style adds charm to any collection or display dedicated to preserving our rich history.
