EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a heartwarming scene of a Koala and its young, captured in 1803 by the talented artist John William Lewin. The artwork, created with watercolor and gouache, is housed at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. The image depicts a full-length view of this iconic Australian marsupial perched on a rock. The adult Koala exudes an air of tranquility as it sits gracefully while cradling its precious baby. The soft grey hues beautifully capture their natural beauty and evoke a sense of calmness. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous drawing and painting techniques, making this piece an exquisite example of zoological illustration from that era. It serves as both a testament to Australia's unique fauna and an important contribution to the field of natural history. Measuring approximately 29.4 x 34.1 cm (sheet) and mounted on a larger page measuring 37.7 x 44.2 cm, this artwork invites viewers into the world of these fascinating creatures. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece today despite it being out of copyright. This print not only celebrates nature's wonders but also reminds us to cherish our wildlife heritage for generations to come.
