Info Created by Edward Linley Sambourne and published in Punch in 1892, "The Rhodes Colossus" is an editorial cartoon depicting a satirical take on Cecil Rhodes' vision of British colonial rule in Africa. It is considered one of the most iconic images of its time and has since come to represent "the Scramble for Africa" as well as Western colonialism as a whole, being often reprinted both in its time and right up to the present day in various publications and school books.

Support -- Peulle (talk) 13:02, 25 November 2017 (UTC)- Support - In good condition and doesn't need digital restoration, IMO. The importance of the cartoon should be obvious. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:38, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
