EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 17. Symphionema paludosum, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist of the British colony in New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which beautifully captures the diverse flora found in this unique region. Lewin's intricate technique combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring Symphionema paludosum to life on paper. The delicate white flowers of this proteaceae plant stand out against a dark background, creating an enchanting contrast that draws viewers into its natural beauty. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this piece exemplifies Lewin's mastery as he meticulously portrays every detail with precision and artistry. As the first professional artist in New South Wales at that time, Lewin played a significant role in documenting and preserving Australia's botanical heritage through his illustrations. Now housed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this exceptional artwork serves as a testament to both Lewin's talent and Australia's rich natural history. Whether you are an enthusiast of botany or simply appreciate fine art depicting nature’s wonders, this print offers a glimpse into an era when exploration and artistic expression intertwined harmoniously for posterity to admire.
