EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the front view of Hotel Washington in Colon, Republic of Panama. The American Photographer masterfully captures the grandeur and elegance of this historic hotel, which played a significant role during the construction of the iconic Panama Canal. The image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for a booklet titled "The Panama Canal, The World's Greatest Engineering Feat" around 1925. It serves as a visual testament to the immense engineering achievement that was completed just over a decade prior in 1914 when the canal opened. Hotel Washington stands proudly against its backdrop, exuding charm with its intricate architectural details and vibrant colours. Its prominent position near one end of the Panama Canal made it an important hub for travelers and workers involved in this monumental project. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to an era where history unfolded before our eyes. It reminds us not only of human ingenuity but also highlights how structures like Hotel Washington became witnesses to extraordinary events that shaped nations and connected continents. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
