It is unclear which work(s) Rowan exhibited
at the 1893
World Exposition, but the record says she had 39 florals.
Artist, naturalist, and explorer, Ellis Rowan is one of Australia's most important wildflower painters, producing more than 3000 paintings of native flora, birds, and insects with scientific accuracy. Untrained but encouraged by her husband, she became a highly successful artist, but was disparaged by some critics because she was so prolific. However, stylishly dressed, she continued to brave crocodiles and perilous river journeys to remote parts of the country in search of her subjects.Biography

Marie Spartali Stillman, the daughter of a wealthy merchant and former Greek consul in London, grew up in a cosmopolitan society consisting of naturalized Anglo-Greeks, artists, musicians, and political exiles from Crete and Italy. She studied art under Ford Madox Brown and modeled for Pre-Raphaelites like Rossetti, Burne-Jones, and Julia Margaret Cameron. The Pre-Raphaelite influence can be seen in many of her paintings. After marrying an American journalist, she alternated between living in England and living abroad in Florence and Rome for many years, but she continued to exhibit in England.

Born in Austria, Marianne Stokes studied art in Munich with W. von Lindenschmit and in Paris with M. Dagnan Bouveret and M. Courtois. After she married British landscape artist Adrian Stokes, she lived in the artist community in St. Ives, Cornwall and other places in England. Her earlier work shows the influence of Lepage and Millet ("plein air" social realism); by the turn-of-the-century, religious and historical subjects, somewhat stylized, predominated. She won a medal at the 1893 Exposition.Biography/11 images

Born near Manchester, England, Annie Louisa Swynnerton began painting to assist her solicitor father in supporting his seven daughters. Her later formal training was at Manchester School of Art and at the Académie Julian in Paris, followed by many years living in Rome with her sculptor husband. Known for her allegorical paintings, she also exhibited many portraits at the British Royal Academy and, in 1910, was the first woman to be elected an Associate of that prestigious organization.

A successful historical and genre painter, Henrietta Ward was born in London into a family of painters (grandfather, father, and mother). She studied art at the Bloomsbury Art School and at Sak's Academy and, at age 16, married artist Edward M. Ward (she sometimes signed her paintings as Mrs. E. M. Ward). Her well-known painting of Mrs. Fry (1876) shows the renowned Quaker reformer of women's prisons, accompanied by her young friend Mary Sanderson, entering the infamous Newgate prison for the first time. (The 1895 version omits the jailer and other figures.) In 1857, Ward supported the campaign to get the Royal Academy School to admit female students (accomplished in 1861). Her autobiography Memories of Ninety Years was published in 1924.Biography of Elizabeth Fry/Henrietta Ward--with image of Ward's painting
