EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Philippe Bunau-Varilla deep in thought as he meticulously plans a strait across Panama, circa 1924. The image, taken by an anonymous American photographer of the 20th century, showcases the French engineer and soldier's influential role in the construction of the iconic Panama Canal. Bunau-Varilla's intense gaze reflects his dedication and determination to overcome the geographical challenges that lay before him. With a distinguished moustache adorning his face, this male figure exudes an air of authority and expertise. The photograph is part of a private collection, offering us a rare glimpse into Bunau-Varilla's visionary mind. As we observe him engrossed in his work, we can only imagine the countless hours spent studying maps, calculating distances, and envisioning how this ambitious project would forever change global trade routes. Preserved by the Library of Congress for future generations to admire and study, this image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It reminds us of the immense effort required to conquer nature's obstacles while leaving behind an indelible mark on history.
