Dinner time, Gatun Lock
Item Information
- Title:
- Dinner time, Gatun Lock
- Description:
-
"Between Mount Hope and Gatun is much more of the swamp and much more abandoned machinery, but the Canal is not to be seen from the railroad, or any evidence of it, till the train stops at the station of Old Gatun, with its workmen's dwellings crowning the hillside. I regret I made no drawing of these, so picturesquely perched. At the station for Gatun - the first time I stopped - I saw the workmen - in decorative fashion - coming to the surface for dinner. The lithograph was made from a temporary bridge spanning the locks and looking toward Colon... The French Canal is in the extreme distance, now used by our engineers." Joseph Pennell.
