EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate botanical illustration of "Page 196. Ricinus communis" by John William Lewin, an esteemed artist who became the first professional artist in New South Wales, Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this piece, as he skillfully combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring out the beauty of Ricinus communis or commonly known as castor oil plant. The dimensions of this artwork are approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. The illustration captures various elements of this fascinating plant species - from its vibrant green foliage and distinct leaves to its unique seed capsules that contain valuable castor beans used for producing castor oil. This depiction serves as a testament to Lewin's dedication to capturing the natural history and flora indigenous to Australia. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this image offers viewers a glimpse into both colonial-era artistry and Australia's rich botanical heritage. As we admire Lewin's masterful technique and appreciate the delicate details portrayed in this artwork, we are reminded of nature's boundless wonders that continue to inspire artists even centuries later.
