EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PENNELL: STEAM SHOVEL, 1912" takes us back in time to witness the monumental excavation work at the Panama Canal. The image showcases a steam shovel in action within the Culebra Cut, surrounded by an array of other heavy machinery. The scene is filled with a sense of bustling energy as workers maneuver around the massive steam shovel, which stands tall against the backdrop of the cut's rocky terrain. Its powerful arm reaches out, ready to scoop up earth and debris with ease. This etching by Joseph Pennell beautifully captures both the scale and intricacy of this engineering feat. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the ingenuity and determination required to construct such a colossal project. The Panama Canal was not only an incredible feat of engineering but also a symbol of human ambition and progress. Granger Art on Demand has brought this remarkable piece from their collection for us to appreciate today. It serves as a reminder of our ability to overcome challenges through innovation and collaboration. Let this print transport you back to 1912 when men worked tirelessly day after day, shaping history one scoop at a time in their quest for connectivity between oceans.
