EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a botanical illustration titled "Page 54. Sowerbaea juncea, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin. Created using watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil, this artwork is part of the collection at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. Lewin holds the distinction of being the first professional artist in Australia's British colony during the early 19th century. His talent shines through in this exquisite piece from his series "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was produced between 1803 and 1806. The dimensions of this illustration range from approximately 38 to 38.5 centimeters in width and 25 to 28 centimeters in height. The delicate portrayal captures a member of the asparagaceae family known as Sowerbaea juncea. Highlighted are its slender stem and leaves that gracefully extend upwards towards a vibrant blue flower delicately perched atop them. This depiction not only celebrates Australia's unique flora but also serves as an important record for natural history enthusiasts. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable image from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Lewin's skillful rendering and immerse themselves in the beauty of Australian botany captured over two centuries ago.
