EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning botanical illustration titled "Page 214. Diuris elongata Saracty? Purple Donkey Orchid (w/c)" by an unknown artist from the 18th century. Housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this artwork is part of Volume 05: Drawings of plants of New South Wales, featuring approximately 259 exquisite botanical watercolours. Measuring at 31.1 x 19.5 cm and smaller, this delicate depiction captures the beauty and intricacy of the Diuris elongata Saracty orchid species. The purple donkey orchid gracefully takes center stage with its vibrant hues and elegant form. The image transports us back to colonial times in Australia when natural history exploration was at its peak. It serves as a testament to the rich flora found in New South Wales during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing not only the flower but also highlighting its bulbous roots beneath the surface. This meticulous rendering adds depth and realism to the composition. Displayed by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, this drawing invites viewers into a world where art meets science—a fusion between artistic expression and botanical documentation that continues to captivate audiences today.
