Creator(s): Keppler, Udo J., 1872-1956, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : J. Ottmann Lith. Co., Puck Bldg., 1905 July 19.
Summary: Illustration shows a bloated businessman labeled 'Railroad Interests' smoking a cigar and wearing a gold necklace of railroad passenger cars, sitting on the hillside at the Culebra Cut in Panama; he is speaking to Uncle Sam, who is standing on the edge of the Cut, his coat over one arm and holding a pick-axe with the other. Stuffed head-first, in the businessman's pocket, is John F. Wallace, chief engineer of the canal construction until his resignation in 1905.
Notes:
Title from item.
Caption: Gentleman in the Background Sam, here's an engineering problem for you. If it'll take ten years to cut through Culebra, how many years will it take to cut through me?
