Astor's strategy was to buy, very cheaply, land that lay far beyond the developed area of the city and then to wait for the city's rapid growth to reach his lots. Mr and Mrs Astor travelled to Egypt and Paris and, in the spring of 1912, decided to return to America as First Class passengers on board the brand new Titanic, probably because, given that Madeleine was 5 months pregnant, they wanted the baby to be born in America. www.expertsite.biz /dir/as/Astor.htm   (1761 words)

Sargent It contains the two of the charcoal drawings of Nancy Astor that you already have posted on your site, but it also contains charcoal drawings of two of her four sisters, Phyllis and Nora which I have never seen reproduced anywhere else.
