EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Street scene, Colon, Panama, c.between 1910 and 1920," transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Colon, Panama, during the early 20th century. The image, captured on a dry plate glass 8 x 10 inch negative, showcases the vibrant urban landscape of this important commercial hub in Central America. The photograph reveals a lively street scene filled with a diverse population. People of various races and backgrounds are depicted going about their daily business, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of Colon. The image also highlights the city's commercial prowess, with merchants setting up their wares on the sidewalks, and ships anchored in the harbor, suggesting the city's vital role in international trade. The photograph's composition is expertly framed, with the buildings on either side of the street forming a symmetrical backdrop to the bustling activity in the foreground. The use of natural light and the crisp detail captured in the image add to its timeless beauty. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art, and a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Panama during the 1910s and 1920s. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this rare and evocative image in its collection, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the history of this fascinating city.
