Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
The caricature depicts Cecil Rhodes in uniform, standing arrogantly and larger than life over Africa: his left leg rests in Egypt, his right in South Africa. In his hands, which he stretches toward the sky, he holds the thin cable of a telegraph.
Die Karikatur zeigt einen Mann in Uniform, der überheblich und überlebensgroß über Afrika steht: Sein linkes Bein steht in Südafrika, sein rechtes in Ägypten. In seinen Händen, die er zum Himmel streckt, hält er das dünne Kabel eines Telegraphen.
