Portrait of Ferdinand de Lesseps
22612
Portrait on a globe evoking the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal
A3 size.
With the success of the construction of the Suez Canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps, more than seventy years old, is convinced to revive the operation in the isthmus of Panama - territory then Colombian.
This second project, which was much more complex and fraught with difficulties, caused the shareholders to lose a lot of money. Ferdinand de Lesseps, will be sentenced to five years in prison, which was broken and not returned. Lesseps died in 1894 without knowledge of the trial. A statue of him is erected in Panama.
