EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 245. Solanum vescum, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, an esteemed artist of the British colony in New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his renowned collection called "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's expertise in capturing the beauty of Australian flora is evident in this piece, where he skillfully combines watercolors, pen, ink, and pencil to bring Solanum vescum to life. The dimensions of the print are approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. Solanum vescum belongs to the solanaceae family and is commonly known as gunyang due to its vibrant purple flowers that dominate the composition. Lewin's attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate every delicate petal and intricate botanical feature. The Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales proudly houses this remarkable artwork as a testament to Lewin's pioneering role as Australia's first professional artist during colonial times. As we admire this exquisite illustration today, we can't help but marvel at how it captures both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse simultaneously. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Australia's rich natural history and pays homage to Lewin's significant contribution towards documenting its unique plant species for generations to come.
