Cartoons & Caricature

Dioscorea convolvulacea Cham. & Schltdl.

· Specimen mounted c. 1867

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a cartoon or caricature. It shows pressed, dried stems and leaves of Dioscorea convolvulacea, a yam-family vine, pinned to archival paper with tape and annotated in manuscript. A determination label records identification by O. Tellez in 1993. No satirical tradition applies here. Writing a caricature wall label for this botanical specimen would be factually false and unsuitable for any exhibition context. The image belongs to natural history collections, not the printmaking lineage of Hogarth, Gillray, or Daumier.
