EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases F. 12 Pisonia umbelliferia, a stunning botanical illustration created by John Doody in the late 18th century. The artwork, measuring 47.6x60.1 cm, is composed of watercolor and ink on paper and is currently housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. Belonging to Series 01: Flora of Norfolk Island, this piece depicts the birdlime tree or bird catcher tree found on Norfolk Island during that time period. It offers a glimpse into Australia's colonial history as it is attributed to English convict John Doody who arrived in Australia in 1791 after being sentenced to transportation from London. Doody served as a servant to William Paterson on the garrison of Norfolk Island from 1791-93. His talent for capturing botanical beauty shines through in this exquisite painting which features delicate white flowers, branches adorned with leaves and foliage, and even seeds. The image not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights Australia's rich natural history and biodiversity. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork provides viewers with a window into Oceania's flora during the late 18th century. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant piece of Australian artistry for all to appreciate without commercial use implications.
