Suopursu-vaiveroräme. Valtakasvit: Ledum, Andromeda cal., Rub. cham., Empetr., Sph. fusc., Erioph.ang., jäkäliä. Metsähallituksen Lestin hoitoalue.

This gelatin silver or orthochromatic film photograph — not a cartoon at all — documents a Finnish bog heath (*räme*) in the Lesti forest district, catalogued by the state forestry authority. The frame is dense with Labrador tea (*Ledum*), bog rosemary (*Andromeda*), crowberry (*Empetrum*), cottongrass, lichens, and *Sphagnum* moss. It belongs to the documentary survey tradition that ran parallel to print satire: where Hogarth, Gillray, and Daumier mapped human society through exaggeration, Finnish forest administrators mapped peatland ecology through systematic field photography. Both traditions depend on the single framed image carrying classificatory authority. No caricature or political content is present here.
