The arms of the octopus are the main visual elements. This cartoon represents British Imperialism because it shows the octopus (England) grabbing (conquering) the countries it wants. The cartoonist thinks that Imperialism is correct because he shows the English man smirking, and he doesn't show the side of the people in the countries being taken over. This is true because he shows the countries as simply being islands of earth that all look the same, and he shows these countries (that in real life are far apart from each other) all in England's reach. The cartoonist could have drawn the octopus pulling in the countries instead of reaching for them to show that they are slowly becoming a part of England. This cartoon has good contrast between the red arms and the blue water and sky, the repetition of the arms reaching to several countries helps the piece, the piece is also aligned well, there is the same amount of arms on each side. The proximity of the countries to each other are unrealistic, for example, Egypt isn't close the Canada. All together this piece uses C.R.A.P. very well.
