This is a cartoon of John Bull, a personification of Britain, taking in an orphaned baby Uganda, poking fun at Britain colonizing Uganda. The artist is showing the condescending and paternalistic attitude of imperialism, showing that the British view the country and people of Uganda as childish, or incompetent.
This cartoon is mocking the idea of the "white man's burden", showing instead the black man's burden, depicting an African man carrying all of the troubles European involvement in Africa wrought.
