EDITORS COMMENTS
The PANAMA CANAL CARTOON, 1904 is a chilling depiction of the challenges faced by the builders of the Panama Canal. Created by American cartoonist Joseph Keppler Jr. , this artwork captures the grim reality that awaited those who ventured into the fever-ridden swamps of Panama. In this cartoon, Death personified lurks in the background, wielding a scythe and waiting patiently for its victims. The skeleton figure symbolizes not only illness but also represents the dangers and risks associated with constructing such an ambitious project. Keppler's use of dark imagery and symbolism highlights the immense toll that diseases like malaria and yellow fever took on workers during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how perilous it was to undertake such an endeavor in Latin America at that time. This print offers a glimpse into early political acts surrounding the construction of one of history's greatest engineering feats. It reminds us that progress often comes at great cost, both in terms of human lives lost and sacrifices made. As we reflect on this powerful image from 1904, let us remember all those who dedicated their lives to building the Panama Canal and honor their legacy.
