EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures President Theodore Roosevelt in a moment of awe-inspiring grandeur. Taken in November 1906, during the construction of the Panama Canal, it showcases Roosevelt seated confidently within a giant steam shovel at the Culebra Cut. As the 26th President of the United States, Roosevelt was known for his progressive policies and fearless approach to leadership. Here, he symbolizes both power and determination as he oversees one of America's greatest engineering feats. With his iconic moustache framing his face, Roosevelt epitomizes strength and resilience. Surrounded by workers and machinery that exemplify American ingenuity, this image speaks volumes about the spirit of progress that defined early 20th-century America. The towering crane behind him serves as a reminder of the immense scale on which this project was undertaken. Roosevelt's presidency marked an era characterized by trust-busting and advocating for workers' rights through initiatives like "The Square Deal". His famous motto "speak softly and carry a big stick" is reflected in this photo – capturing both his commanding presence and commitment to getting things done. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history – reminding us not only of Roosevelt's legacy but also celebrating American innovation at its finest.
