This is a botanical herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The sheet preserves a pressed fragment of Hypericum anagalloides (tinker's penny, a small creeping St. John's wort), collected on Vancouver Island at approximately 600 feet elevation in July 1927 by Dame Alice and the Misses Godman, and later determined by N. K. B. Robson in 1956. It belongs to the British Museum Herbarium's Western North America series. No satirical, printmaking, or caricature tradition is present or relevant here. Writing a political-cartoon wall label for this object would require wholesale fabrication, which I will not do.
