EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map from "The Business Encyclopaedia and Legal Adviser" published in 1907, depicting the proposed Nicaraguan Canal. The lithograph displays the ambitious plan to create a shipping route through Nicaragua via Lake Nicaragua, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the early 20th century, this visionary project aimed to rival the Panama Canal. However, history took a different turn as the construction of the Panama Canal became a reality, rendering this proposed Nicaraguan venture obsolete. This beautifully colored map serves as a testament to an unrealized dream that once held great promise for trade and transportation between continents. The image portrays more than just geographical details; it captures an era of exploration and innovation. It transports us back to a time when men dared to envision grand feats of engineering that could reshape global commerce. As we gaze upon this aged lithograph with its intricate cartography, we are reminded of how plans can change and dreams can evolve over time. The faded colors hint at both nostalgia for what might have been and admiration for human ingenuity. Through Ken Welsh's lens, we witness not only an old man-made creation but also our own planet's vastness within space—a reminder that even our greatest aspirations are mere specks in the cosmic tapestry.
