EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PENNELL: GATUN LOCK, 1912. Gatun Lock - end of the day" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image showcases the hardworking men who dedicated their sweat and labor to construct the iconic Gatun Lock in the Panama Canal. As dusk settles over the construction site, we see a crowd of exhausted workers gathered together after a long day's work. Their tired faces tell stories of determination and resilience as they stand amidst towering cranes and unfinished structures. The etching by Joseph Pennell beautifully captures this scene, preserving it for generations to come. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as nightfall approaches, highlighting both the physical exhaustion of these workers and their unwavering commitment towards completing this monumental project. This lithograph not only pays homage to their tireless efforts but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering marvels that shaped our world. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from 1912, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance behind every stroke engraved by Joseph Pennell's skilled hand. It reminds us that progress often comes at great sacrifice, reminding us of those who worked tirelessly under challenging conditions so that future generations could benefit from improved transportation routes like the Panama Canal.
