EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Mitrasacme polymorpha, a white flower native to Australia. Created by John William Lewin, the first professional artist in New South Wales during the early 19th century, this artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" from 1803-06. Lewin's mastery in watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil brings out the intricate details of this exquisite plant. The dimensions of the print measure approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, allowing viewers to appreciate every stroke and line that Lewin meticulously crafted. As an important figure in colonial Australian art history, Lewin played a significant role in documenting and illustrating the country's unique flora. His work not only captured the aesthetic appeal but also contributed to scientific knowledge about these plants. The ethereal nature of Mitrasacme polymorpha shines through in this illustration. Its fragile petals seem almost weightless against a backdrop of lush green foliage. This botanical masterpiece invites us into a world where we can marvel at nature's wonders up close. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this piece serves as a testament to both Lewin's artistic talent and his dedication to preserving Australia's natural heritage for generations to come.
