EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured etching titled "Page 47. Plate 12 Clisiocampa Lewinae / Bombyx Lewinae, 1803-04" by John William Lewin. The artwork, measuring 20.6x15.7 cm, is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Lewin's masterpiece depicts an exquisite natural history scene featuring eighteen nondescript moths with detailed descriptions. Executed with precision and fidelity to nature, this engraving offers a glimpse into Australia's diverse fauna and entomology during the early 19th century. The image captures one of these mysterious moths in flight, showcasing its delicate wingspan as it gracefully hovers above a branch adorned with lush leaves. The intricate details of the moth's body and wings are brought to life through meticulous hand-colouring techniques. Notably, this artwork also highlights the life cycle of these fascinating creatures; from their larval stage as caterpillars feeding on leaves to their transformation into beautiful flying insects. As we admire this enchanting piece, we are transported back in time to witness Lewin's dedication to capturing Australia's unique wildlife through his artistry and scientific observations. This print serves as a testament to both his talent as an artist and his contribution to our understanding of Australian entomology.
