Panama, 1908. Photograph of John Frank Stevens, (an American engineer who built the Great Northern Railway and was chief engineer of the Panama Canal) sitting at a large desk with map of the world behind him. Photograph is stamped at bottom with "Office of European Agent. Isthmian Canal Commission". The Isthmian Canal Commission (often known as the ICC) was an American administration commission set up to oversee the construction of the Panama Canal in the early years of American involvement. Established in 1904, it was given control of the Panama Canal Zone over which the United States exercised sovereignty. The commission reported directly to Secretary of War William Taft. Rare vintage photograph in excellent condition.
