EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map depicting the proposed Nicaraguan Canal, taken from "The Business Encyclopaedia and Legal Adviser" published in 1907. The lithograph, created by an English School artist of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into an ambitious plan to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through Nicaragua via Lake Nicaragua. During the first decade of the 20th century, this canal project aimed to revolutionize water transport and reshape global trade routes. However, it ultimately remained unrealized due to the construction of the Panama Canal. Nevertheless, this historical artifact serves as a testament to human ingenuity and aspirations for progress. The vibrant colors on this geographical map highlight various elements such as viaducts, nautical vessels navigating through vast oceans, and even celestial bodies like planets in outer space. It also includes Costa Rica's presence within its borders. As we explore this lithograph further, we are transported back in time to witness early twentieth-century cartography techniques that beautifully capture both historic significance and geographical details. This chromolithograph is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insights into our planet's history. With all rights reserved by Ken Welsh until 2023, this remarkable piece reminds us of past endeavors that shaped our world today while serving as a reminder of what could have been if circumstances had unfolded differently.
