notes: label: Description
content: Mary Nimmo Moran chose <I>The Goose Pond, Easthampton</I> as her diploma work when the recently formed Royal Society of Painter-Etchers in London elected her a Fellow in 1881, the only woman among the sixty-five original Fellows. When she exhibited four etchings in the Society’s show, the <I>New York Herald</I> commented on a review in a London paper, ‘“Mrs. Moran’s work is so masculine [sic] that the <I>Daily News</I> critic takes it for that of a man.”’ Her vigorous etching style has been frequently noted along with her preference for working outdoors directly on a prepared plate, before the subject.
label: Description
content: The print shows a pond, now known as Town Pond, and Gardiner’s Mill, which still stands in the town of East Hampton, where the Morans spent many summers. Landscape and in particular the landscape around East Hampton was the subject of many of Mary Nimmo Moran’s etchings.
