EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Theodore Roosevelt, with the assistance of John Hay, taking Panama. The cartoon by Charles Green Bush from the New York World in 1903 depicts this pivotal event during the early stages of American colonialism. In the image, we see President Roosevelt standing tall and determined on a ship flying the American flag, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to progress and expansion. Assisting him is John Hay, who played a crucial role in facilitating negotiations for the construction of the Panama Canal. The cartoon highlights America's maritime prowess as an elephant - representing strength and power - guides their path towards Latin America. This visual metaphor underscores America's dominance in shaping global politics during that era. This political act was not only significant for its impact on international relations but also represented Roosevelt's progressive agenda within his own Republican Party. It exemplifies his determination to leave a lasting legacy through transformative projects like canal construction. Charles Green Bush masterfully captured this historic moment with intricate detail and symbolism. His artwork serves as a reminder of Theodore Roosevelt's influential presidency and sheds light on America's ambitions during the Progressive Era. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an important chapter in American history that forever shaped our nation's relationship with Latin America and solidified our position as a global superpower.
