EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of F. 8 Pennantia endlicheri and Dendrobium macropus, created around 1790-95 by John Doody or attributed to him. The medium used for this masterpiece is watercolor and ink on paper, measuring 47.6x60 cm. It is currently housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The image belongs to a series called "Flora of Norfolk Island" which was likely produced during the 1790s. John Doody, an English convict who arrived in Australia in 1791 after being sentenced to transportation from London, played a significant role in its creation. During his time as a servant to William Paterson on Norfolk Island's garrison from 1791-93, he contributed his artistic talents to document the island's botanical wonders. The painting beautifully captures the vibrant green foliage and delicate white flowers of these plants native to Norfolk Island. The intricate details showcase Doody's skillful technique and deep appreciation for nature's beauty. This artwork not only serves as a testament to colonial natural history but also highlights Australia's rich botanical heritage. It stands as a reminder of both John Doody's journey from convict servant to accomplished artist and Norfolk Island's unique flora that continues to captivate botany enthusiasts today.
