EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph, titled "A Graphic Comparison," offers a powerful visual representation of the immense scale of the Panama Canal project. Created by the American School in the early 20th century, this print showcases the staggering amount of earth and rock excavated from the canal, known as "spoil." The caption reveals that this spoil could have been used to build an astonishing 63 pyramids the size of Cheops along Broadway from the Battery to Harlem.
The detailed illustration for Willis J Abbot's book on the Panama Canal provides a fascinating glimpse into one of history's most ambitious engineering feats. The image captures not only the sheer magnitude of labor and resources involved in constructing such a monumental waterway but also highlights the technological advancements of the electrical age.
Set against a backdrop of black and white, with iconic landmarks like Harlem and New York City featured in the background, this lithograph serves as a reminder of America's ingenuity and determination to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. It is a testament to human innovation and perseverance in shaping our world through monumental achievements like the Panama Canal.
