[Nhcoll-l] Photograph attached to herbarium specimen 'Primordial Women'

[Megan King]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some advice on a specimen image we were about to upload to our Symbiota portal where host our herbarium records. The specimen contains what seems to be a picture cut out from a publication of two women in partial clothing, and what some may find as a distasteful description below… “Primordial Women Plucking Fruit from a Living Fossil.” 

Has anyone come across this before, and what have you done regarding to uploading the image of the specimen? 

All suggestions and comments welcome!

Regards,
Megan
