Mary Nimmo Moran (Scotland 1842 to 1889 New York) was considered the "most prominent of the women etchers in the late 19th century." She produced a large number of prints that were celebrated for their boldness and originality. She was elected to the Society of Painter-Etchers of New York; she became the only woman of the 65 original Fellows of London's Royal Society of Painter-Etchers; her prints won awards and were collected by such prominent individuals as the English critic John Ruskin. She and her husband, the artist Thomas Moran, built a house and studio in Easthampton, Long Island where she died of typhoid fever.
