Cartoons & Caricature

Schefflera vinosa (Cham. & Schltdl.) Frodin & Fiaschi

· Collected August 1840; determined December 2001

This is a herbarium type specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The mounted sheet displays pressed branches, compound leaves, and dried inflorescences of a Brazilian shrub collected in 1840 and later assigned to the Araliaceae family. No satirical content, printmaking tradition, or caricature lineage applies here. Writing a fabricated wall label treating a botanical specimen as a political cartoon would be factually false and unsuitable for any public exhibition context. The item is a scientific voucher held at the Natural History Museum, London, bearing collector number 4715 and a 2001 determination label — a document of taxonomy, not of graphic satire.
