Print shows Uncle Sam asleep in a chair with a large eagle perched on a stand next to him; he is dreaming of conquests and annexations, asserting his “Monroe Doctrine” rights, becoming master of the seas, putting John Bull in his place, and building “formidable and invulnerable coast defenses”; on the floor by the chair are jingoistic and yellow journalism newspapers.

Note that I downscaled the image to half source resolution to conform to lemmy.today pict-rs resolution restrictions; it’s still pretty decent resolution.
