EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Dog in the Manger" and published on January 16, 1901, in Puck magazine, offers a satirical commentary on European powers' jingoistic behavior towards Nicaragua and the proposed construction of the Nicaragua Canal. The illustration depicts a bulldog labeled "Jingoism" standing protectively in a ditch marked "Nicaragua Canal," preventing various European animals from accessing the canal construction. The British Lion, labeled "England," holds a pick, while a boar represents "Germany," a Russian Bear leans on a shovel, a donkey stands in for "Spain," a rooster symbolizes "France," and a monkey signifies "Italy." Each animal, embodying the nationalistic sentiments of their respective countries, vies for control over the canal project, leading to a humorous yet insightful commentary on the geopolitical tensions of the time. The illustration serves as a reminder of the often contentious nature of international relations and the potential for competition and conflict over resources and territories.
