EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print captured by an Unidentified Author from Alinari. Dating back to around 1884-1889, it offers a poignant snapshot of a street in Colon, Panama, that tells a story of resilience and progress. In the foreground, we see railroad tracks stretching ahead, symbolizing the city's connection to wider networks of trade and transportation. On the right stands a man wearing a straw hat, his attire reflecting the fashion and clothing trends of that era. His presence adds a human touch to this scene frozen in time. However, what truly captures our attention is the sight unfolding behind him. The street is strewn with rubble, hinting at some past catastrophe or perhaps ongoing construction work as part of efforts to rebuild after adversity struck. Amongst this backdrop stand few houses – symbols of shelter amidst uncertainty. As we gaze further into the distance, we catch glimpses of palm trees swaying gently against an urban skyline dotted with structures showcasing diverse architectural styles prevalent during that period. This print not only showcases elements like housing and infrastructure but also serves as an intriguing visual commentary on society and politics at that time. It invites us to reflect on how cities like Colon have evolved over decades while reminding us that progress often emerges from challenging circumstances. Let this remarkable image transport you back in time; let it inspire appreciation for those who persevered through trials while laying foundations for future generations.
