EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 50. Apium, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist who became the first professional artist of the British colony in New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration that combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil techniques. The delicate strokes bring to life the sea celery plant (Apium prostratum) from the Apiaceae family with remarkable accuracy. Its thin stems and lush green leaves are beautifully rendered against a neutral background. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this botanical masterpiece can be found at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. It offers viewers a glimpse into Australia's rich natural history and colonial heritage. As we admire Lewin's skillful portrayal of flora through this drawing-turned-painting, we are reminded of his significant contribution to documenting Australian plants during an era when scientific exploration was still in its infancy. This image serves as a testament to both Lewin's artistic talent and his dedication to capturing the beauty and diversity of Australia's unique plant species for generations to come.
