Remembering Joseph Pennell and the Panama Canal
Joseph Pennell, one of the greatest lithographers and print-makers in the United States in the first quarter of the 20th century, saw in the work of the engineers of his time the pursuit of both utility and beauty. He also understood that the process of creating structures results in a series of fleeting scenes, each with a beauty and vitality that is best captured on the construction site. He called his efforts to capture these scenes "The Wonder of Work," and those efforts took him to the sites of some of the most spectacular projects in what some call "The Golden Age of American Engineering." Pennell traveled to Panama in 1912 to create images of the Panama Canal under construction—the greatest engineering work of his time. The 28 lithographs he produced there are some of the greatest images ever created of a project under construction.
