AFRICAN POOLMarker [African]: "Stroke and Division, Gentlemen!"Lord Salisbury to M. Declasse: "Very Well, We'll Divide! Théophile Delcassé (1 March 1852 – 22 February 1923) was a French statesman and foreign minister 1898-1905. He gave a great impetus to French colonial enterprise, especially in West Africa, where he organized the newly acquired colony of Dahomey, and dispatched the Liotard mission to the upper Ubangi. In 1898 Delcassé had to deal with the delicate situation caused by Captain Marchand's occupation of the town of Fashoda in the Sudan (the Fashoda Incident) for which, as he admitted in a speech in the chamber on 23 January 1899, he accepted full responsibility, since it arose directly out of the Liotard expedition; and in March 1899 he concluded an agreement with Britain by which the difficulty was finally adjusted, and France consolidated her vast colonial empire in North-West Africa. Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury (3 February 1830 – 22 August 1903), was a British statesman. His great achievement in this term [as Prime Minister] was obtaining the lion's share of new territory in Africa during the imperialistic Scramble for Africa, avoiding a war or serious confrontation with the other powers. France retreated in Africa after the British dominated in the Fashoda Incident.”I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale; combine orders with no extra shipping fees.Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002.
