EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 26. Persoonia linearis" by John William Lewin, an iconic artist of the British colony in New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is a stunning combination of watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil that beautifully captures the essence of this Australian plant. Lewin's contribution to botanical illustration is evident in his renowned series called "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. This particular piece depicts the narrow-leaved geebung (Persoonia linearis), a member of the proteaceae family known for its striking yellow flowers and woody stems. The dimensions of this artwork are approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, showcasing intricate details that highlight Lewin's exceptional skill as an artist. Preserved at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this print offers us a glimpse into Australia's natural history through its vibrant flora. As we admire this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only Lewin's artistic talent but also his significant role as one of Australia's first professional artists. Through his meticulous illustrations like "Page 26. Persoonia linearis" he has left an indelible mark on both art and science while celebrating Australia's unique botanical heritage.
