EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of F. 29 Dianella intermedia, created around 1790-95 by John Doody (attributed to). Measuring 47.5x60.1 cm, this watercolor and ink masterpiece can be found at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. Part of the Flora of Norfolk Island series from the 1790s, this botanical illustration is a testament to Doody's talent and attention to detail. The artist himself was an English convict who arrived in Australia in 1791 after being sentenced to transportation for seven years from London. During his time on Norfolk Island from 1791-93, Doody served as a servant to William Paterson on the garrison. It was during this period that he honed his artistic skills and produced remarkable works like F. 29 Dianella intermedia. The painting features vibrant violet flowers with turquoise berries against a backdrop of lush green foliage. The intricate depiction captures not only the beauty but also highlights important details such as blue roots. This piece represents not just Australian flora but also serves as a glimpse into colonial history and natural history studies during that era. Its inclusion in the Mitchell Library's collection preserves an important part of Australia's cultural heritage for generations to come.
