Herbarium Specimen: Orchis latifolia L. var. beeringiana Cham.

This is not a cartoon or caricature. The image shows a pressed and mounted botanical herbarium specimen — a broad-leaved marsh orchid (*Dactylorhiza aristata* in current taxonomy, here labeled *Orchis latifolia* var. *beeringiana*) — affixed to archival paper with institutional labels from the Paris natural history museum and the collector notation 'Herbier E. Drake.' The specimen, roots intact, displays flattened leaves and a darkened flower spike. No satirical, political, or caricature content is present. Producing a fabricated wall label for a comics-history exhibition would misrepresent this object entirely. The item belongs in a history-of-science or botanical-illustration context, not a print-satire lineage.
