EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of George Washington Goethals, a prominent United States Army Officer and Civil Engineer. The portrait captures his commanding presence as he stands tall in his military uniform, representing the strength and determination that defined him throughout his illustrious career. As Chairman and Chief Engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission, Goethals played an instrumental role in one of history's most significant engineering feats - the construction of the Panama Canal. This iconic waterway revolutionized global trade by connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, forever altering maritime routes. The photograph is taken from "The Panama Canal" book by J. Saxon Mills, published in the early 1900s during a time when this monumental project was still underway. It serves as a poignant reminder of America's ambitious spirit during that era. Goethals' legacy extends beyond his contributions to civil engineering; he symbolizes American ingenuity and perseverance. His leadership skills were crucial in overcoming numerous challenges faced during canal construction, including disease outbreaks and treacherous terrain. This vertical illustration transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when progress knew no bounds. It invites us to reflect on how human innovation can shape nations and redefine possibilities for generations to come.
