EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning botanical illustration titled "Page 176. Actinotus Helianthe, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin. Created with watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil, this artwork is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Lewin holds the distinction of being the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales during the early 19th century. His contributions to Australian art are significant and enduring. The illustration is part of his renowned collection called "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. The dimensions of this particular piece range from approximately 38 to 38.5 centimeters in width and 25 to 28 centimeters in height. Actinotus Helianthe, commonly known as flannel flower or apiaceae, takes center stage in this exquisite composition. Its delicate white petals and buds are meticulously rendered by Lewin's skilled hand. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Lewin's talent but also provides valuable insights into Australia's natural history and flora during colonial times. With its intricate details and masterful technique, this print captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time—a celebration of nature's beauty through art that continues to inspire viewers today.
