· Collected Mexico, 1829–1830; determined 1934

Alchemilla venusta Cham. & Schltdl.
This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a political cartoon or caricature. It shows pressed and mounted plant material identified as *Alchemilla venusta*, a lady's mantle species from Mexico, collected by Schiede and Deppe. The sheet bears multiple handwritten labels, printed barcodes from the Natural History Museum London, a color-calibration chart, and a ruled scale bar — standard tools of taxonomic documentation. No satirical content, printmaking tradition, or caricature subject is present. Writing a comic-art wall label for this image is not possible without fabricating content the image does not support.
