EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 235. Campanula, 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 intricate technique combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring this delicate campanula flower to life. The vibrant blue hues beautifully capture the essence of this bell-shaped blossom from the campanulaceae family. Its elegant petals gracefully unfold against a backdrop that highlights its natural beauty. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this illustration exemplifies Lewin's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for capturing Australia's unique flora through artistry. Preserved in Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this piece offers a glimpse into both colonial history and botanical exploration. As we admire Lewin's masterpiece today, we are reminded of his significant contribution to Australian art and natural history documentation during a time when such endeavors were still in their infancy. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind it but also serves as a testament to our fascination with nature's wonders throughout centuries past.
