I.L. Maduro Jr. Photographs, c.1904-1914
Black-and-white postcard-type photographic prints showing Panama during the time of the construction of the canal, with scenes from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Each print is marked as copyrighted to I.L. Maduro, Jr. The photographs were removed from a black Eastman Kodak Co. album for preservation purposes; their original order was maintained in the number sequence. Numbers printed on the back of each print (e.g. "86B") are listed in brackets after the item description.
The collection was a gift to the Benson Collection by Harry H. Hughes of Austin, whose grandfather J.W. Underwood worked on the Canal. It includes a service pin awarded to Mr. Underwood "for two years continuous service on the Panama Canal," and employee tag #49971.
