EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 19th century photograph captures a breathtaking view of the early attempts to build the Panama Canal under the supervision of Ferdinand de Lesseps in the 1880s. The image transports us back in time to the rural and rustic landscape of Panama during the French-led effort to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The hillside terrain is dotted with lush vegetation and traditional countryside scenery, providing a stark contrast to the massive engineering project underway. The canal channel is visible in the foreground, still in its infancy, as workers toil in the field, laying the foundation for what would become a historical and cultural milestone. The image relates to the early years of the Panama Canal project, a time of innovation and determination in the face of immense challenges. This photograph is an invaluable piece of heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and the incredible engineering feat that transformed global travel and commerce.
