EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 163. Hibiscus, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist who became the first professional artist of the British colony of New South Wales in Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite piece, where he skillfully combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring the hibiscus flower to life on paper. The vibrant yellow hues beautifully contrast against the dark background, creating a visually striking composition. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this botanical illustration captures not only the beauty but also the scientific accuracy of Australian flora during colonial times. The delicate petals and intricate stamen are meticulously depicted with precision and care. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork serves as a testament to Lewin's contribution to both art and natural history in Australia. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also gain insight into the rich botanical diversity that exists within this region. With its bright yellow flowers commanding attention, "Page 163. Hibiscus" stands as a timeless representation of Lewin's mastery in capturing nature's wonders through his brushstrokes and sketches.
