Take Your Choice" takes aim at the Philippines, even though this print sits among Cuban images. It comes from Judge, an American humor weekly that used sharp political cartoons to comment on public affairs. After the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Philippines passed from Spanish to American control, and whether the United States should keep them became a bitter national argument. Cartoons like this one reduced that debate to a single visual choice, showing how Americans were still deciding what an overseas empire would mean for them.
