EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of F. 23 Jasminum volubile, Peperomia urvilleana, and Passiflora adiantum, created around 1790-95 by John Doody or attributed to him. The piece is a watercolor and ink masterpiece on paper measuring 47.7x59.7 cm, currently housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Part of the Flora of Norfolk Island series from the late 18th century, this botanical illustration offers a glimpse into Australia's colonial history. It is believed that John Doody, an English convict transported to Australia for seven years in 1791, was responsible for this remarkable work while serving as William Paterson's servant on Norfolk Island between 1791 and 1793. The painting captures the lush foliage and intricate details of these plants native to Norfolk Island. Vibrant green leaves intertwine with delicate tendrils as orange and white flowers bloom gracefully amidst them. Each element is meticulously rendered with precision and skill.

Its inclusion in Mitchell Library's collection serves as a testament to its historical significance.
