EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Page 8. Imperata arundinacea syn. Saccharum cylindricum, 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 piece is part of his renowned collection called Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants. Lewin's expertise in botanical illustration is evident in this exquisite watercolor and ink composition. The delicate strokes and intricate details bring to life the Imperata arundinacea plant, also known as Saccharum cylindricum or hairy grass. The seed head resembles a feathery plume, adding a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. Displayed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork serves as a testament to Lewin's significant contribution to Australian natural history through his artistic talent and meticulous observations. The dimensions of this masterpiece measure approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, allowing viewers to appreciate each fine stroke up close. This particular print captures not only the beauty but also the scientific importance of Australian flora during colonial times. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us delve into a world where art meets botany—a world that Lewin skillfully brought together with his exceptional talent and passion for capturing nature's wonders on paper.
