EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite botanical illustration titled "Page 172. Physalis edulis, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin. Created with watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil, this artwork is a testament to Lewin's talent as the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales, Australia. Part of his renowned collection "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" this piece beautifully captures the essence of Physalis edulis or Cape gooseberry. The dimensions of the print are approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of every element – from the intricate husk and vibrant green leaves to the delicate foliage surrounding the fruit itself. This illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also contributes to our understanding of natural history and botany. Physalis edulis belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and holds significance both scientifically and culinarily due to its edible nature. With its luscious fruit enclosed within a papery husk, this plant has long fascinated researchers and food enthusiasts alike. Displayed at Mitchell Library in State Library of New South Wales, this mesmerizing artwork offers us a glimpse into Australia's colonial past while celebrating its unique flora. Through Lewin's skillful brushstrokes, we can appreciate both the beauty and scientific value that botanical illustrations hold for generations to come.
