EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of Panama City in the early 1900s, before the United States embarked on its monumental construction of the Panama Canal. The image showcases a bustling street scene, with buildings lining both sides and people going about their daily lives. It offers a glimpse into an era when this Latin American city was still developing and evolving. The architecture is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century style, with balconies adorning some of the buildings. However, it is impossible to ignore the signs of poverty that permeate this neighborhood. The dilapidated structures and crowded streets hint at the challenges faced by many Panamanians during this time. Despite these hardships, there is an undeniable energy present in this photograph. People can be seen walking along the sidewalks or congregating on street corners, creating a vibrant atmosphere that characterizes urban life. As we gaze upon this postcard from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness Panama City's humble beginnings before becoming one of Central America's most important economic hubs. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how far this city has come and pays homage to its rich history and resilient spirit.
