Info Created by Edward Linley Sambourne and published in Punch in 1892, "The Rhodes Colossus" is an iconic editorial cartoon depicting a satirical take on Cecil Rhodes' vision of British colonial rule in Africa. It 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.

Comment - Good and certainly useful, but has the signature been somewhat rubbed out, and if so, should it be restored? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:34, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, but perhaps we should search the Internet and upload better versions if we find them. I know there are some colour versions too, although I don't know if that was the original. Perhaps uploading this one would be better?--Peulle (talk) 11:18, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I am working on finding better alternative versions. Thanks for your time. --Peulle (talk) 14:05, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
