Cartoons & Caricature

Spiranthes romanzoffiana Cham. & Schltdl.

· Collected July 9, 1871

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a political cartoon or caricature. It shows two pressed and mounted orchid plants — Spiranthes romanzoffiana (Irish Lady's-tresses) — collected at Berehaven, County Cork, Ireland, and held in the Natural History Museum, London Department of Botany. The specimens bear Arthur Bennett herbarium labels noting receipt in 1930 as a bequest from C. E. Salmon, and a collector notation attributing the July 1871 gathering to A. G. More. No satirical, printmaking, or caricature tradition applies here. Writing a comic-art wall label for this object would be factually false. The requested label format cannot be honestly completed for this image.
