EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a botanical illustration titled "Page 36. Wahlenbergia gracilis, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin. Created using watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil, this exquisite artwork is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Lewin holds the distinction of being the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales during his time from 1800 onwards. This particular illustration comes from his renowned collection called "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was produced between 1803 and 1806. The dimensions of this piece range from approximately 38 to 38.5 centimeters in width and 25 to 28 centimeters in height. The delicate depiction captures a member of the Campanulaceae family known as Wahlenbergia gracilis or commonly referred to as an Australian bluebell. With its long and slender stem adorned with a beautiful blue flower, this botanical marvel adds elegance to any space it graces. Its intricate details showcase Lewin's mastery in capturing nature's beauty on paper. This stunning artwork not only serves as a testament to Australia's rich natural history but also highlights Lewin's significant contribution to colonial artistry during that era. A must-have for enthusiasts interested in drawing, painting, botany, or simply appreciating flora-inspired illustrations.
