Nancy / Anne Wollstonecraft

"After her husband’s death in 1817, Anne Wollstonecraft moved from the US to Matanzas, Cuba, seeking a warmer climate for the sake of her health. While biographical details on Wollstonecraft are scarce, we do know that before her death in 1828, she devoted herself to creating richly detailed illustrations and descriptions of the botanical specimens she found on the Caribbean island, culminating in a remarkable three-volume manuscript entitled Specimens of the Plants & Fruits of the Island of Cuba.

The book, which includes 121 watercolor plates of local specimens ranging from pineapples and small red “cloven berries” to white angel’s trumpet, was never published, instead passing into the hands of her descendants. Then it went missing —for 190 years."
