Microlicia formosa Cham. — Herbarium Specimen, Natural History Museum, London

This is a pressed botanical specimen, not a cartoon or caricature, and cannot be honestly described as one. It shows dried stems of Microlicia formosa Cham. (Melastomataceae), collected in Minas Gerais, Brazil, locality Carassa, by collector P. Clausen (no. 34, c. 1840). The sheet bears Natural History Museum London and Ex Herb. Hort. Bot. Brux. labels, a color calibration target, and a scale rule — standard herbarium documentation. No satirical tradition, printmaking technique, or caricature subject is present or inferable. Fabricating a wall label for a comic-art exhibition around this object would be factually false. A curator's obligation is accuracy first.
