EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 162. Stachys arvensis, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist who became the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales, 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 illustration that combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil techniques. The delicate strokes beautifully capture the essence of Stachys arvensis, commonly known as field woundwort or staggerweed from the Lamiaceae family. Its vibrant leaves and foliage are meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into Australia's rich natural history. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm in size, it exemplifies Lewin's exceptional talent as an artist. As you admire this botanical illustration filled with flora native to Australia, let your imagination transport you back to a time when explorers like Lewin documented new plant species discovered on foreign lands. This remarkable piece not only serves as a testament to Lewin's skill but also highlights the beauty and diversity found within Australia's unique ecosystem.
