The Busy Showman - President Theodore Roosevelt Motivating his Team on the Panama Canal
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this 1906 American cartoon by W. A. Rogers, we witness President Theodore Roosevelt in a moment of intense leadership and determination. The image portrays him as a showman, conducting a team of workers including William Howard Taft and William Crawford Gorgas on the construction site of the Panama Canal. With an unwavering gaze and an outstretched arm, Roosevelt urges his team to dig harder, ignoring John Bigelow's report on the canal. His iconic big stick symbolizes his political acts during his presidency - strong and assertive. Roosevelt's presence is commanding; he wears a sombrero that adds an element of intrigue to this early 20th-century political scene. Taft and Gorgas stand beside him, their expressions mirroring their leader's determination. This cartoon captures both the spirit of progressivism that defined Roosevelt's presidency and America's ambitious pursuit of infrastructure development at that time. It showcases how Roosevelt motivated those around him to push beyond their limits for national advancement. The Granger Collection presents this historical print from its archives, offering us a glimpse into one of America's most transformative eras under President Theodore Roosevelt. This artwork serves as a reminder not only of our nation's past but also highlights the power of leadership in driving collective efforts towards achieving monumental goals like constructing the Panama Canal.
