EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of John William Lewin, a renowned artist who became the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The piece titled "Page 21. Conospermum ericifolium" is part of his iconic series called Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants, created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's mastery is evident in this delicate composition that combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil techniques to bring to life the beauty of Conospermum ericifolium. This native Australian plant from the proteaceae family is depicted with meticulous attention to detail - its slender white flowers gracefully emerging from intricate foliage. The Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales proudly houses this remarkable artwork which serves as a testament to Lewin's contribution to botanical illustration and natural history documentation. The dimensions of this print range from approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to witness Australia's colonial era through Lewin's artistic lens. His dedication and passion for capturing the unique flora found in his new homeland have left an indelible mark on both art history and our understanding of Australia's rich botanical heritage.
