Abstract
The author of this essay provides an ideological case study of the press coverage of the Casement Report that circulated between 1904 and 1908. This study shows that when Consular Roger Casement returned from investigating alleged abuses of local populations in the Congo Free State, he brought back photographs that became a part of the ideological weaponry that would be used by the Congo Reform Associations. King Léopold II's supporters and other critics of Casement's Report used a colonial hermeneutics of suspicion as they critiqued this British policing of the activities of rival European powers.
