Featuring a collection of original wild flowers paintings from the 1890s, this exhibition highlights the partnership of amateur artist Gertrude Lovegrove and botanical collector William Bäuerlen. Set within the context of botanical illustration and collection in the late 19th century, the show reveals their ambitions and ultimately unsuccessful endeavour to produce a multi-part publication called The Wild Flowers of New South Wales.
