Louise von Panhuys epitomized an era when high social status was equated with a refined education; as the writers of her time described, a classic &#8220;lady of leisure.&#8221; In contrast, Nancy K. Wollstonecraft, was the daughter of a clergyman from New England, born into the broad American middle class, which shaped the early decades of the United States&#8217; independent life. Both shared a common passion for: the exuberant forests of the Caribbean European colonies: von Panhuys in the Dutch territory of Suriname and Wollstonecraft on the Spanish island of Cuba. The artistic result of these two women is astounding and took different directions: while von Panhuys painted to entertain herself and with a mostly descriptive purpose, Wollstonecraft combined her artistic talent and botanical knowledge into a three-volume manuscript, Specimens of the Fruits and Plants of the Island of Cuba (unfortunately never published), with accurate and detailed descriptions and beautiful illustrations. Biographies of these two extraordinary women are accompanied by complete sets of their orchid paintings, eight by Panhuys (along with several of her landscapes and scenes from Suriname) and nine by Wollstonecraft. A clarifying note: Wollstonecraft&#8217;s name is indistinctly given as &#8216;Nancy Anne&#8217;, &#8216;Anne&#8217;, or &#8216;Nancy&#8217;. The author has used the name as it appears in various bibliographical sources.]]></p></abstract>
