Cartoons & Caricature

Quercus germana Schltdl. & Cham.

· Collected 1891, Plantae Mexicanae series

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a cartoon or caricature. It shows a pressed and dried branch of Quercus germana — a Mexican oak — mounted on archival paper with taxonomic annotations, a color-calibration scale, and institutional labels referencing the Plantae Mexicanae collection. No satirical imagery, printmaking tradition, or caricature content is present. Describing it as political satire would be fabrication. The specimen belongs to the natural history collection tradition, not the Hogarth–Gillray–Nast lineage that gave rise to the comic strip. No honest wall label for a caricature exhibition can be written from this image.
