Author, illustrator, printmaker, and natural historian John William Lewin was
the first professional artist to arrive in Australia as a free man. Featuring
more than 150 exquisite artworks, this record takes a fascinating look at
Lewin's life and work, his place in colonial Australian society, and the
enthusiasm for natural history that swept the world in the 1800s. Visually
stunning, this biography is a testament to Lewin's artistic legacy, which
includes the first ever illustrated book published in Australia-Birds of New
South Wales in 1813.
