EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PENNELL: PANAMA CANAL, 1912. The gates Pedro Miguel" takes us back in time to witness the remarkable construction of the Panama Canal. Etched by Joseph Pennell in 1912, this engraving showcases the early stages of building the Pedro Miguel Lock gates. The image portrays a scene of immense industrial progress as workers labor tirelessly amidst towering machinery and railroad tracks. The enormity of the lock gates is evident, with their intricate design and solid structure taking shape before our eyes. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination that such an ambitious project was undertaken over a century ago. The etching's monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to every detail captured by Pennell's skilled hand. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the magnitude of the construction site and the resilience of those involved in its creation. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when man conquered nature's obstacles through sheer willpower. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to overcome challenges through innovation and collaboration. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this extraordinary snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate not only Joseph Pennell's artistic talent but also the monumental achievement that forever changed global trade routes –the Panama Canal.
