EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating cartoon print titled "Panama Failure by Vignola: And the fight ended for lack of. . . ammunition" depicts a scathing commentary on the financial scandals that plagued the end of the 19th century. Created by Amedee Vignola and featured as the cover of "Le Pilori" on March 19,1893, this artwork offers a satirical take on the Panama Canal project. In this illustration, Vignola cleverly portrays an American figure representing financial interests in Central America engaged in a battle. However, instead of weapons or strategies, both sides are shown desperately searching for ammunition to continue their fight. This comical depiction highlights how these financial scandals ultimately resulted in failure due to mismanagement and corruption. The image serves as a reminder of France's Gustave Eiffel's involvement in engineering projects during this period. The inclusion of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris further emphasizes France's connection to finance and economy at that time. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historical moment through his photography skills, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we observe this artwork today, it provides us with valuable insights into past events while also reminding us of the enduring power of political satire and caricature as forms of social commentary.
