From the exhibition
Campanula lasiocarpa Cham. — Herbarium Specimen
· Collected 1829; ex Herb. Ad. Brongniart

This is not a cartoon or caricature but a pressed botanical specimen — *Campanula lasiocarpa* Cham., the alpine harebell, mounted on herbarium paper. The plant, collected in 1829 and formerly held in Adolphe Brongniart's herbarium, now carries a Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris accession label. No satirical image is present. The object belongs to the tradition of natural-history illustration and specimen-keeping, not to the Hogarth–Gillray–Daumier lineage of print satire from which comics descend. Describing it as a political cartoon would be factually false, and no honest wall label can be written on that premise for this image.
