EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the historic moment when President Woodrow Wilson triggers the explosion that demolishes Panama's last barrier, sending debris flying almost 6,000 kilos into the air. The illustration, created by Italian artist Achille Beltrame, was published in Courier Sunday on October 19-26,1913. In this scene, we see President Wilson surrounded by a group of politicians and staff members as he confidently presses a button to initiate the destruction. A woman is seen opening a telephone line to communicate with workers at the dam site. The timing of this event is crucial as it marks the opening of the Panama Canal – a monumental construction project that connects Central America to North America. The image showcases not only political power but also technological advancements of its time. It highlights how communication played an essential role in coordinating such massive projects. The presence of furniture and employees suggests that this event took place in an office or control room. Beltrame's detailed artwork brings life to this significant moment in American history. It symbolizes progress and unity between nations as well as showcasing America's dominance in engineering and construction industries during that era. This print serves as a reminder of President Wilson's instrumental role in completing one of humanity's greatest engineering feats - the Panama Canal - forever changing global trade routes and connecting continents like never before.
