EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic construction of the Panama Canal, specifically capturing a panoramic view of the Monkey Hill excavation site. The image, originally an engraving by Gaston Vuillier, was featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on April 29th, 1882. The scene depicts the immense effort and determination required to carve through the isthmus of Panama. As workers labor tirelessly amidst rugged terrain and dense vegetation, their excavators dominate the landscape. The colossal machinery stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The significance of this momentous project cannot be overstated. The canal's construction not only connected two great oceans but also revolutionized global trade routes forever. It opened up new possibilities for international commerce while shortening travel distances for ships worldwide. Stefano Bianchetti's reproduction allows us to appreciate both the historical importance and artistic beauty captured in this print. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the monumental efforts undertaken by countless individuals who contributed to this remarkable feat of human achievement. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of our ability as humans to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges through collaboration and innovation.
