	Sydney Heritage Fleet - Alice Austen Story
		Alice Austen observed and photographed the dynamic life of this great seaport, bequeathing to us a priceless record of square riggers, coasting schooners, racing yachts, tugboats, excursion steamers, immigrant ships and ocean liners in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
		Austen's share of this was sufficient to move her out of the poor house and into a comfortable, private room in a nearby nursing home.
		Jensen recalls Alice Austen telling him that she was such a determined and untiring photographer in part because she realised the world she knew was vanishing, and she wanted to preserve some part of it for the future.

	glbtq >> arts >> Austen, Alice
		Alice Austen, one of the first American women to become a photographer, lived the life of an independent, genteel woman during the Victorian age.
		Austen's life ended on a sad note because, although talented and renowned, she invested her family inheritance in the stock market shortly before its crash in 1929.
		Austen spent her remaining years in nursing homes, entering the Staten Island Farm Colony (a home for paupers) on June 24, 1950 when she was 84.

	Alice Austen House
		Alice Austen spent most of her life at Clear Comfort until financial problems and illness forced her to move in 1945.
		Alice's own photographs of the interior and exterior of the house and grounds made an exact restoration possible-from the rustic post gate to the 1879 Statue of Liberty on the parlor mantelpiece (given by the American Committee for contributing to construction costs of the Statute's base).
		Located at the entrance to New York Harbor, the Alice Austen House is a reminder of the picturesque suburban "cottages" that dotted the shore and hills of 19th century Staten Island.

	Jane Austen's Writings -- Jack and Alice
		This short piece from Jane Austen's Juvenilia is fun to read because it's much less decorous and restrained than Jane Austen's later published novels -- though since she wrote it in her early teens, it's not surprising if it's a little rough and unsophisticated.
		Alice was too sensible of Lady Williams's kindness in proposing such a walk, and too much pleased with the prospect of seeing at the end of it a Horsepond of Charles's, not to accept it with visible delight.
		Alice had already begun to colour up, and was beginning to speak, when her Ladyship, perceiving her displeasure, continued thus.
