Cartoons & Caricature

Russelia syringaefolia Schltdl. & Cham.

· Collected 1828, Mexico: Papantla

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a cartoon or caricature, and cannot be described as one. It shows pressed and dried plant material — stems, leaves, and spent flowers of Russelia syringaefolia — mounted on archival paper alongside a color-calibration chart and a metric scale rule. Labels identify it as a Type Collection from the Natural History Museum, London, Department of Botany, collected in Papantla, Mexico, 1828. It belongs to the tradition of scientific botanical illustration and specimen preservation, not to the print-satire lineage of Hogarth, Gillray, or Daumier. No wall label for a caricature exhibition can honestly be written for this object.
