EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "F. 24 Ipomoea congesta; Elaeodendron curtipendulum" by John Doody, a talented artist believed to have created this piece in the late 18th century. The painting, rendered with watercolor and ink on paper, measures an impressive 47.7x60 cm and is currently housed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. Part of a series dedicated to documenting the flora of Norfolk Island during the 1790s, this particular artwork highlights two remarkable plant species: Ipomoea congesta and Elaeodendron curtipendulum. The vibrant purple hues of the convolvulus flowers, commonly known as morning glory, beautifully contrast against their striped leaves and foliage. Additionally, delicate berries adorn the branches of Elaeodendron curtipendulum. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is its connection to Australian history. John Doody himself was an English convict transported to Australia in 1791 for a period of seven years. Assigned as a servant to William Paterson on Norfolk Island's garrison from 1791-93, Doody utilized his artistic skills to document local botanical specimens. Through this stunning representation of nature's beauty and historical significance, viewers are invited into a world where art intertwines with exploration and discovery. This print serves as a testament not only to Doody's talent but also to Australia's rich colonial heritage and diverse
