EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of F. 26 Ipomoea cairica and Planchonella costata, commonly known as Bastard ironwood. Created between 1790-95 by John Doody, an English convict who arrived in Australia after being sentenced to transportation from London, this ink and watercolor masterpiece is a testament to his artistic talent. Part of the Flora of Norfolk Island series attributed to Doody, this artwork can be found at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. The delicate blue trumpet-shaped flowers of Ipomoea cairica are elegantly depicted alongside the intricate details of Planchonella costata's leaves and berries. Doody's time on Norfolk Island from 1791-93 as William Paterson's servant allowed him ample opportunity to observe and document Australia's unique flora. This botanical illustration not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the rich natural history that existed during colonial times. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring these Australian plants to life, offering viewers a glimpse into their enchanting world. As one admires this painting, it becomes evident why these species have captivated botanists and art enthusiasts alike for centuries. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this print is a true treasure for anyone interested in Australian botany or colonial art. It stands as a testament to both Doody's skill as an artist and his contribution to documenting Australia's diverse plant life.
