  • (Panama) Gray's Aero View Of The Panama Canal, James R. Gray, 1915
    It was indeed the "World's Greatest Engineering Feat" at the time and this raised relief map for the path of the Canal conveys the surrounding terrain as well as the path from ocean to ocean. Celebrating the event of the opening, it is in its self contained folder, which includes the elevation profile, as well as history of the canal. Text boasts that the idea was "Projected 392 years ago. To be realized in two years", and gives a timeline history of the potential connection.
    Condition is very good for the map, minor fold separations for the folder. Image size is approximately 14 x 4.5 (inches)
