EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing President Theodore Roosevelt's bold refusal to pay Colombia millions for Panama Canal rights in 1903. Hand-colored by W. A. Rogers, this vintage cartoon illustration brings the scene to life with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The image portrays President Roosevelt as a strong American leader, standing firm against what he perceived as an act of robbery by Colombia. With his military background and leadership skills honed during his time with the Rough Riders, Roosevelt embodies determination and courage in this historic depiction. The cartoon cleverly highlights the diplomatic tensions between North America and South America during that era. It caricatures Colombia as a dictator-like figure attempting to blackmail Uncle Sam, symbolizing the United States' resistance against unfair financial demands. Through this artful representation, we witness how international relations played out at the turn of the 20th century. The Panama Canal became a pivotal project for both Central America and Latin America, shaping trade routes and global diplomacy. Preserved through time, this political cartoon serves as a reminder of President Roosevelt's unwavering stance on matters of finance and foreign affairs. It encapsulates an important chapter in American history while also shedding light on complex power dynamics between nations during that period.
