There’s no original art to show this time. This is adapted from Clarence H. White’s 1905 photo The Orchid. And, yes, this is almost certainly the oldest piece of public domain art I’ve ever used.
Transcript:
SCENE: A photograph of a young woman picking something up from the ground outside. In the background, two women are looking up into the branches of a tree. One of them is reaching for something in a tree branch.
YOUNG WOMAN IN FOREGROUND: You can stop looking, girls! I found my IUD!
