From the exhibition

Cordia discolor Cham.

· Collected c. 1890, Bolivia

Cordia discolor Cham.
This is not a cartoon or caricature. It is a botanical herbarium specimen — a pressed and dried plant mounted on archival paper, labeled *Planta Boliviana* and identified as *Cordia discolor* Cham. (family Boraginaceae). The sheet bears a collector's label, an institutional stamp, and a color-calibration strip added for photographic reproduction. Herbarium sheets like this one are primary scientific documents, not satirical prints. No printmaking tradition, no caricature content, and no political target are present or implied. A wall label for a print-satire exhibition cannot honestly be written from this image.
