A wide panoramic frame stretches across this black-and-white view of a canal, with railway tracks running alongside the water, a pairing that shows how much freight in the early 1900s depended on both waterway and rail. The record does not name the location, but the gallery files it under Theodore Roosevelt, whose presidency from 1901 to 1909 included the start of Panama Canal construction in 1904. Panoramic views of large engineering works were common then because they could show the scale of a project in a single sweep.
