Dioscorea convolvulacea Cham. & Schltdl.

This is a herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The sheet displays a pressed and dried climbing yam (Dioscorea convolvulacea), a Mexican vine, with its characteristic heart-shaped leaves and slender twining stems mounted on archival paper. Two Missouri Botanical Garden labels record collection number 6504, locality near Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, at approximately 5,200 feet, collected by C.G. Pringle on 23 September 1886. No satirical, political, or caricature content is present. Describing this as a historical print-satire work would be inaccurate and cannot be supported by the image.
