EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of F. 18 Tetragonia implexicoma and Caparis nobilis, commonly known as Devils Guts. Created between 1790-95 by John Doody, an English convict who arrived in Australia after being sentenced to transportation from London, this artwork is a testament to his talent and passion for botany. The image depicts the intricate details of these plants with ink and watercolor on paper. The stem, adorned with white hairs, leads up to a stunning flower that stands out against its surroundings. The vibrant red berries add a pop of color and serve as a reminder of the plant's significance in both science and food supply. Originating from Norfolk Island during colonial times, these flora species have become iconic representations of Australian natural history. They are not only admired for their aesthetic appeal but also valued for their contributions to various ecosystems. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the dedication and skill put into documenting Australia's botanical wonders. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage left behind by individuals like John Doody, whose artistic endeavors continue to inspire generations today. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork is part of Series 01: Flora of Norfolk Island - a collection attributed to John Doody himself. Its presence here ensures that future generations can appreciate the beauty and importance of these unique plant species found across Oceania.
