“The American continental policeman.”
President Roosevelt stands as a giant wearing the crown of “Imperialism” and wielding “The Big Stick” over diminutive figures representing Colombia (lying on the ground), Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Mexico, and Paraguay. Roosevelt’s left foot is on the torn and tattered “Constitution of the United States.” In the distance, Spain and others look on.
