About this work
A colored political cartoon by Gordon Ross, dated 1911, shows a large seated African figure resting against a palm tree while European colonial powers, marked by their flags, divide the continent beneath him. Small figures of soldiers, surveyors and laborers work over letters spelling AFRICA and mark claims with Keep Off signs.
