EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - President Theodore Roosevelt, alongside Secretary of State John Hay, taking Panama. Created by American cartoonist Charles G. Bush in 1903, this artwork reflects the era of early colonialism and the progressive spirit that defined America at the time. In this thought-provoking cartoon, we see President Roosevelt depicted as a determined leader, actively involved in the construction of the Panama Canal. Assisted by Secretary Hay, they symbolize American influence and power extending into Latin America during this period. The image showcases both men dressed formally in suits against a backdrop of lush greenery. The use of contrasting elements highlights their role as agents of change amidst nature's beauty. This visual juxtaposition suggests that progress often comes at a cost to natural resources and local populations. As members of the Republican Party during the Progressive Era, Roosevelt and Hay played crucial roles in shaping American foreign policy. Their actions not only impacted Panama but also solidified America's position on the global stage. This historic photograph serves as a reminder of America's past ambitions for expansion and its impact on other nations. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as imperialism, diplomacy, and national identity while appreciating Charles G. Bush's artistic portrayal capturing an important chapter in our shared history.
