De eerste stap van Cecil Rhodes op vaderlandschen bodem Possibly 1897

This satirical cartoon, titled "De eerste stap van Cecil Rhodes op vaderlandschen bodem" (The first step of Cecil Rhodes on native soil), likely created in 1897 by an anonymous artist, depicts Cecil Rhodes, a British businessman and politician, stumbling upon his arrival in a new land. Rhodes is shown falling to the ground, while a group of people, possibly representing colonists, celebrate his arrival with cheers and gestures. The illustration, drawn in a simple pen-and-ink style, utilizes caricature to highlight the perceived awkwardness and unpreparedness of Rhodes's arrival.
