EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Xylomelum pyriforme, a species native to Australia. Created by John William Lewin, the first professional artist in New South Wales during the early 19th century, this artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" from 1803-06. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this piece, as he skillfully combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring out the essence of this unique plant. The dimensions of the print measure approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. The woody pear leaves are meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. Every delicate vein and subtle shade is captured flawlessly on paper. This illustration serves as a testament to Lewin's talent as an artist and his dedication to documenting Australia's rich flora. Displayed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork holds significant historical value for its portrayal of colonial Australian botany.
