EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "From the Pacific to the Atlantic along the Route of the Panama Canal" takes us back in time to witness a monumental engineering feat. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases various elements that played a crucial role in constructing one of the world's most significant waterways. The image depicts a bustling scene filled with ships navigating through cuts and channels at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean. The arduous work required to carve out these passages is evident as we see workers laboring tirelessly amidst challenging conditions, including malaria outbreaks. Railways and steam dredgers are also visible, highlighting their vital contribution to this ambitious project. The city of Panama can be glimpsed in the distance, serving as a testament to human perseverance and ingenuity. The engraving provides insight into different stages of construction along the canal route. From showcasing sections like Gatoon and Culebra to capturing panoramic views of valleys such as Buenevista, it offers viewers an immersive experience into every aspect involved in building this remarkable waterway. As we observe this historical artifact from our present vantage point, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how it symbolizes human determination and collaboration on an extraordinary scale.
