EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts the construction progress of the Panama Canal in 1886, with a particular focus on the Alto Obispo bridge. The bridge, named after the nearby Panamanian town, was a crucial element of the canal's engineering design, allowing the passage of ships through the narrow Central American isthmus. The image captures the spirit of the ambitious project, which began in the late 19th century and continued into the 20th. The engraving showcases the blend of Spanish and American engineering expertise, with workers of diverse backgrounds laboring side by side to overcome the challenges posed by the rugged terrain and dense forest. The scene is dominated by the Alto Obispo bridge, a testament to the ingenuity of the engineers involved. The bridge's construction required the use of innovative techniques, such as the use of steel and concrete, to span the gap between the continents. The workers can be seen toiling away, constructing the bridge piece by piece, with the forested landscape providing a stark contrast to the industrial activity. The Panama Canal, which opened in 1914, revolutionized global trade by enabling the passage of ships between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, significantly reducing the time and distance required for international maritime travel. This engraving offers a glimpse into the history of this engineering marvel and the determination of the workers who brought it to life.
