EDITORS COMMENTS
Mercury, the Roman god of commerce and trade, stands before a gathering of North American manufacturers in this 1911 illustration from Puck magazine. Clad in a hat bearing the label of the Pan-American Union and draped in the colors of both the American and South American flags, Mercury gestures toward a large globe, where South America is prominently displayed. With a knowing smile, he urges the manufacturers to look southward, promising them a land ripe for exploitation. The illustration, titled "There is a rich land to the south - the Pan-American Mercury to the Yankee manufacturers," reflects the growing interest and investment in South America during this period, as the United States and other northern countries sought to expand their economic influence in the region. The image, with its blend of mythology and contemporary politics, is a striking reminder of the complex and often contentious relationships that have long existed between North and South America.
