EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Burchardia umbellata, a stunning Australian plant. Created by John William Lewin, the first professional artist in the British colony of New South Wales during the early 19th century, this artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" (1803-06). Lewin's expertise in watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil shines through in this exquisite illustration. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the flower cluster of Burchardia umbellata with its white and pink petals. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this piece is a testament to Lewin's skill as an artist. Housed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this print offers a glimpse into Australia's rich natural history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Lewin were captivated by their surroundings and dedicated themselves to documenting its flora. The inclusion of milkmaids or colchicaceae adds further depth to this botanical illustration. This image not only celebrates the beauty found in nature but also highlights Australia's colonial past. With its timeless charm and artistic mastery, Page 63: Burchardia umbellata transports viewers back in time while simultaneously reminding us of our connection to nature and our shared heritage with those who came before us.
