This print captures a significant moment in the history of Guatemala - the opening of the Guatemala Northern Railway on 19th January 1908. Standing tall and proud, a magnificent triumphal arch dominates the scene, symbolizing the monumental achievement of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through a railway spanning an impressive distance of 195 miles. The dedication on this architectural masterpiece pays homage to Manuel Estrada Cabrera, President of Guatemala at that time. It serves as a reminder of his leadership and vision in making this ambitious project come to life. The arch stands as both a physical landmark and a testament to human ingenuity. Intriguingly, amidst all its grandeur, we see people from different walks of life gathered around it. Women dressed elegantly in their finest attire stand alongside men wearing suits while children playfully roam about. This diverse group represents not only those who were directly involved in constructing or operating the railway but also ordinary citizens who witnessed this historic event. The surrounding landscape adds depth to the composition, showcasing lush greenery against which this remarkable feat was accomplished.
