EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a 19th-century cartoon song titled "La Panne a Panama" performed by Monsy at the renowned Casino de Paris. The lyrics, penned by R. Esse, and music composed by Rachel Block, tell a tale of financial scandal and bankruptcy surrounding the ambitious Panama Canal project. The image showcases an unknown artist's caricature depicting the chaos and turmoil that ensued during this infamous episode in American history. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports us back to a time when political corruption and economic mismanagement were rife. The composition cleverly combines elements of music, action, and satire to convey the gravity of the situation. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary on Central America's struggle with financial instability. Photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historical artifact from his private collection, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. This photograph is now out of copyright, allowing enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its artistic value without any commercial implications. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how even in times long past, human folly can lead to catastrophic consequences. "La Panne a Panama" stands as a testament to our collective need for transparency and accountability in matters both big and small.
