A cluster of native Trichopilia orchids — white petals, pink-red spotted lips — fills this close botanical study from I.L. Maduro Jr., the most prolific and historically important postcard publisher of the Panama Canal Zone era. Maduro's natural-history series served both tourists and Canal construction workers during the boom years of 1904–1914.
