1912201831912. Panama Canal Early Photography Two large albumen photographs of the construction of the Panama Canal 1912. Photographs are pasted down to grey cardstock with captions and articles describing the imagery below. Photos measure 11" x 14". The building of the Panama Canal was not met with ease as the former French owned project was abandoned due to lack of investment and a high worker mortality rate and the grappling of territory between Panama Columbia and the United States. In 1903 Panama gained it's independence and as the United States recognized this Roosevelt used buying power to his advantage to funnel millions of dollars towards Panama and the funding of this project. These two photographs are early large scale displays of the massive amounts of land and infrastructure that went into this long awaited project. One photograph shows the Culebra Cut in June 1912. The article pasted to the front states that "To remove the 105000000 cubicyards of earth from the backbone of the Americas required about 6000000 pounds of high-grade dynamite each year to break up the material.in which time some 19000000 pounds were exploded in Culebra Cut only eight men were killed." The second photograph dated January 1912 shows the Miraflores Upper Locks with a diagram of what the final construction would look like. The photograph shows a partially built sill multiple tracks for hauling material heavy duty cranes and other industrial equipment. Thousands of local men were hired for this dangerous and underpaying job over the course of a decade. These Caribbean workers endured poor working conditions low wages and unbearable temperatures for a government that was not theirs over 5000 becoming casualties. By it's opening ceremony in 1914 The Panama Canal was the most expensive project in US history estimated at $350000000. These early photographs show only a portion of what went into this costly construction. Minor wear to edges of board upper right corner of one is chipped. Images are crisp and clear overall very good condition. unknown

in-8, pp. 177, (3) di indici, 3 carte geografiche a colori, più volte ripiegate, in fine. Broch. in carta muta coeva rosa. Edizione originale, rara a trovarsi. Quest'opera, che si colloca a metà tra un saggio ed un racconto di viaggio, fu redatta da Belly, giornalista francese che visse alcuni mesi in America Centrale nella speranza di incoraggiare lo scavo di un canale in Nicaragua. Il progetto del canale non era nuovo; dieci anni prima, nel 1846, Napoleone III aveva già pubblicato a Londra un pamphlet intitolato "Canal de Nicaragua ou projet de jonction des océans Atlantique et Pacifique au moyen d'un canal". Secondo lo stesso Belly, Fernando Cortes aveva inviato nel 1528 un primo rapporto sulla possibilità di aprire una rotta tra i due oceani (non viene citata una fonte particolare ma si fa un piccolo riferimento a un testo). Belly sarebbe diventato famoso tra gli studiosi europei per i suoi scritti in difesa della "razza latinoamericana". Buon esemplare, assai fresco.. .

18512009AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 33.2 cm x 24.6 cm. Sheet Size: 37.5 cm x 27.3 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".
