EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 40. Erythraea australis, c. 1803-06" by John William Lewin, an esteemed artist who became the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his renowned collection called Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants. Lewin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, which combines watercolor, pen and ink, as well as pencil techniques. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring to life the exquisite beauty of Erythraea australis, commonly known as Schenkia australis or small pink flower from Gentianaceae family. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this botanical masterpiece resides at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. Its inclusion in this prestigious institution signifies its historical significance and contribution to Australia's natural history. The image captures not only the artistic prowess of Lewin but also serves as a window into colonial Australia's rich flora and plant diversity. It stands as a testament to Lewin's dedication towards documenting and preserving Australian plants for future generations. As we admire this enchanting depiction of nature's wonders through Lewin's skilled hand, we are reminded of both our connection with the past and our responsibility to cherish and protect our natural heritage for years to come.
