EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of F. 25 Euphorbia sparrmannii and Lobelia alata, created around 1790-95 by John Doody or attributed to him. The delicate watercolor and ink on paper technique brings these botanical wonders to life, capturing their intricate details in stunning clarity. Measuring 47.4X60 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, Australia. It belongs to a series titled "Flora of Norfolk Island" believed to have been produced during the late 18th century. What makes this artwork even more fascinating is its historical context. John Doody was an English convict who arrived in Australia in 1791 after being sentenced to transportation for seven years from London. During his time as a servant assigned to William Paterson on Norfolk Island's garrison from 1791-93, he managed to create these remarkable botanical illustrations. The vibrant blue hues of the flowers contrast beautifully with their roots and seeds depicted alongside them. This piece not only highlights Australia's rich natural history but also serves as a testament to the artistic talent that emerged even amidst challenging circumstances. With its depiction of native Australian flora and its connection to colonial history, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both artistry and botany intertwined within one frame.
