EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1888 showcases the bustling scene at the railway station in Colon, Panama. Serving as the Atlantic terminus of the renowned Panama Railway, this station played a pivotal role in connecting the vast oceans of Atlantic and Pacific. The wood engraving, created by an English artist, beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant city. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a myriad of elements that bring life to this historic moment. A diverse crowd fills the streets surrounding the station, showcasing a mix of locals and visitors alike. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons transport goods while pedestrians navigate through the busy thoroughfare. The image also highlights various modes of transportation prevalent during that era – donkeys carrying cargo alongside workers pushing carts laden with crates. The presence of telephone poles and lines hints at technological advancements making their way into everyday life. Amidst all these activities, one cannot miss noticing a mother cradling her baby close to her heart while men diligently work on loading freight onto waiting trains. The Latin American influence is evident throughout – from traditional attire worn by women to flags proudly fluttering in solidarity with Panamanian identity. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history when commerce thrived along these railroad tracks connecting two great oceans. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination that transformed Panama into an indispensable global trade hub.
