EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "F. 13 Ipomea Pes, caprae; Celtis paniculata" by John Doody, a talented artist who flourished during the late 18th century. The piece, created using watercolor and ink on paper, measures an impressive 47.6x59.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Part of Series 01: Flora of Norfolk Island from the 1790s, this botanical masterpiece depicts two distinct plants indigenous to Australia's Norfolk Island. The first plant featured is Ipomea Pes Caprae or commonly known as Morning Glory, characterized by its trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades of purple and mauve that beautifully contrast with its vibrant green leaves and delicate vines. The second plant showcased is Celtis Paniculata, also known as Native Hackberry or Brown Beech. Its intricate foliage displays an array of lush green leaves that add depth and texture to this remarkable composition. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is John Doody's personal history as an English convict transported to Australia in 1791 for a seven-year sentence. Assigned as a servant to William Paterson on Norfolk Island's garrison from 1791-93, Doody managed to create stunning pieces like this amidst challenging circumstances. This mesmerizing painting not only captures the beauty of Australian flora but also serves as a testament to resilience and creativity flourishing even in unlikely places
