EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Across Two Oceans, the Panama Ship Canal" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on June 16,1888, this print showcases the monumental construction of the Panama Ship Canal. The image transports us to Central America as we witness the awe-inspiring feat of engineering that is cutting through the Culebra Mountain. With a general view looking west towards Panama, we are given a glimpse into the immense scale of this ambitious project. The canal's purpose was clear - it aimed to connect two oceans and revolutionize global trade routes. As we study this engraving closely, we can see railways being laid down alongside the canal's construction site. This visual representation highlights not only the magnitude of human effort but also emphasizes how crucial rail transportation was for facilitating progress during this era. With its focus on Western Hemisphere development and connecting continents across vast oceans, this artwork symbolizes unity and progress. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in overcoming geographical barriers. Preserved within private collections today, this historic print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It reminds us of our ability as humans to achieve great things when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges – an enduring message that transcends time.
