EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of botanical history. Titled "Page 5. Unidentified plant (w/c)" this artwork by an unknown artist from the 18th century is housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image depicts a natural-sized tree, standing tall at a height of 40 to 50 feet with a diameter of approximately 12 inches. The bark of this unique specimen appears rough and slightly scorched, adding to its mystique. However, it is the fruit that truly captures attention; according to the accompanying information, it leaves an unpleasant taste on the tongue like nothing else ever seen or tasted before. Part of Volume 05: Drawings of plants of New South Wales, which comprises around 259 botanical watercolors, this artwork offers valuable insights into Australia's rich flora and natural history during colonial times. The dimensions measure at approximately 31.1 x 19.5 cm and smaller. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this drawing/painting combination in their photograph while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. This image serves as a reminder not only of Australia's diverse plant life but also how scientific exploration played a crucial role in uncovering these wonders centuries ago.
