EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 10. Petrophile pedunculata, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist of the British colony of New South Wales in Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his iconic series titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's exceptional talent as a professional artist is evident in this exquisite illustration that beautifully captures the essence of Petrophile pedunculata, commonly known as conesticks or yellow flower. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil mediums, he brings forth the vibrant colors and delicate features of this native Australian flora. Displayed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this piece represents an important chapter in Australia's natural history. It serves as a testament to Lewin's dedication to documenting and preserving botanical specimens unique to his adopted homeland. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this artwork not only demonstrates Lewin's artistic prowess but also highlights his contribution to colonial botany studies. Through his work, he has immortalized these indigenous plants for generations to come. As we admire this remarkable creation from Lewin's collection today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance in understanding Australia's rich floral heritage.
