England and Imperialism Political Cartoon

This cartoon depicts England as an octopus because of the major role England played in imperialism during this time period.  England had a great deal of terroitory in Africa as well as Asia.  The cartoon perfectly illustrates the quote, "The sun never sets on the English Empire." For this particular cartoon, I don't believe the artist had an opinion.  His goal was most likely to show that England was a powerful nation that had territory in most of the world.  I actually really like this cartoon because it is so true.  The artist of this cartoon is unknown.
