EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print captures a truly strange and humorous sight from the early 20th century. In this illustration, we see a group of Panama hats floating through the Gaillard Cut in Panama, on their way to Maduro's Souvenir Store. The image is an advertisement for these iconic straw hats that were popular during that time. The Gaillard Cut, part of the famous Panama Canal, was a remarkable engineering feat. It required extensive civil engineering work to carve through the rugged terrain and connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. However, this particular scene adds an unexpected twist by showcasing floating hats instead of ships passing through. The lithograph-style print showcases vibrant colors and intricate details, making it even more captivating. People can be seen in awe as they witness this unusual spectacle unfold before their eyes. This postcard serves not only as an advertisement but also as a unique piece of art that reflects the cultural significance of Panama hats in North America, Central America, and Latin America at that time. Preserved by the Curt Teich Company and located in Lake County Museum's collection today, this offset lithograph offers us a glimpse into history while adding a touch of humor to our day.
