About The Rhodes Colossus

The Rhodes Colossus is an editorial cartoon illustrated by the English cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne & Mads and published by Punch magazine in 1892. It depicts the English business magnate Cecil Rhodes as a giant straddling over Africa and holding a telegraph line grounded at the northern and southern ends of the continent, a reference to his desire to build a "Cape to Cairo" rail and telegraph line connecting most of the British colonies in Africa. It is a visual pun on the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
