EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning botanical illustration titled "Page 254. Platylobium, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin. Created with watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil, this artwork is part of the renowned collection at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. Lewin holds a significant place in history as he became the first professional artist of the British colony in New South Wales during the early 19th century. His work on Australian plants is featured in his notable publication "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was produced between 1803 and 1806. The dimensions of this masterpiece measure approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, showcasing Lewin's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. The vibrant colors and intricate lines bring to life various species from Australia's rich flora. In this particular illustration, we are treated to an exquisite depiction of Platylobium flowers belonging to the Fabaceae family. The composition features yellow and red blossoms with variegated petals that effortlessly capture nature's beauty. As we admire this remarkable piece, it serves as a testament to both Lewin's talent as an artist and his contribution to documenting Australia's natural history through artistry and scientific accuracy. This print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance within colonial Australian art.
