EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two stunning botanical illustrations by John William Lewin, a renowned artist and the first professional artist of the British colony of New South Wales in Australia. The artwork, titled "Page 207. Actinotus minor; 208. Boronia paradoxa" was created between 1803 and 1806 using watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil. Lewin's exceptional talent is evident in these delicate renderings of Australian plants from his series "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants". The dimensions of the print are approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. The first illustration depicts Actinotus minor or the lesser flannel flower from the Apiaceae family. Its pristine white petals exude an ethereal beauty that captivates viewers with its simplicity and elegance. The second illustration portrays Boronia paradoxa or eriostemon paradoxus from the Rustaceae family. This pink-flowered plant adds a vibrant burst of color to Lewin's collection, showcasing his ability to capture nature's diversity. These botanical illustrations not only serve as visually striking pieces but also contribute to our understanding of Australia's unique flora and natural history during colonial times. This print can be found at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, serving as a testament to Lewin's artistic legacy and his significant contributions to Australian art history.
