About this work
An engraved political cartoon from Punch, or the London Charivari, dated December 10, 1892, shows a giant moustached man in military dress striding across a map of Africa from the Cape toward Cairo, one hand raising a hat. The caption reads The Rhodes Colossus, Striding from Cape Town to Cairo, and the work is signed by Edward Linley Sambourne and dated 1892. Printed text from the surrounding magazine page is visible at the edges.
