The Secret of the Strait, the Nicaragua Canal
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print that takes us back to the 19th century. This intriguing artwork, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the ambitious plans for constructing the Nicaragua Canal. The image showcases a detailed longitudinal section of the canal, revealing its intricate design and engineering marvels. From piers and dams to forts and waterways, every element is meticulously depicted. The viewer's eye is drawn to Fort San Carlos standing tall on one side while birds soar above in awe-inspiring flight. The print also highlights significant landmarks such as Lake Managua and Momotomba Volcano in the distance. It transports us to Greytown (now known as San Juan del Norte), where ships would enter from the Caribbean Sea through this secret strait. This historical masterpiece was originally published in The Graphic on October 5th, 1895. Its purpose was not only to inform but also to ignite curiosity about this grand project that aimed to connect two oceans and revolutionize global trade routes. As we admire this litho today, it serves as a reminder of human ambition and ingenuity throughout history. It invites us to ponder over past dreams turned reality or lost forever in time. Let "The Secret of the Strait" transport you back in time and inspire your imagination with its rich details and hidden stories waiting to be discovered within its lines.
