EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures the early days of the first French attempt to build the Panama Canal under the supervision of Ferdinand de Lesseps. The image focuses on Plaza Panama, the central square of the French-built town of Panama, which served as the hub of the construction project. The architecture in the photograph reflects the European influence on the town, with grand residences and well-paved roads leading to the plaza. The Plaza itself is adorned with lush greenery and a large, traditional fountain, adding to the urban charm of the town. The attempt to build the Panama Canal began in the 1880s, with de Lesseps leading the charge after his successful construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt. However, the project faced numerous challenges, including the difficult terrain and climate of Panama, leading to the abandonment of the project in the early 1890s. Despite the failure, the French effort left a lasting impact on Panama, with the town becoming a cultural and historical center of the region. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the early days of the Panama Canal project and the European influence on the town. The image also highlights the importance of the canal in shaping the urban landscape of Panama and the broader history of transportation and globalization.
