**Alice R. Humphrey** — American travel writer, active around the turn of the 20th century. She is known for a single documented work, *A Summer Journey to Brazil* (New York: Bonnell, Silver & Co., 1900), a travelogue recounting a voyage from New York via Southampton and Lisbon to Brazil. The book covers the transatlantic crossing, shipboard life among mixed nationalities, landfall at Pernambuco, and an extended stay in Santos and the resort town of Guarujá — with observations on Brazilian family life, the coffee trade, yellow fever's toll on the region, and contrasts between British and American consular practice. It closes with an account of São Paulo, reached by cable railway, and the influence of Mackenzie College and other American-founded schools on Brazilian education reform. No further biographical record (birth/death dates, other publications, or personal history) is readily documented; she appears in the historical record principally through this one travel narrative, now in the public domain and available via Project Gutenberg. Note: search results also surfaced several unrelated contemporary people named Alice Humphreys (an artist, a marketing professional) — these are distinct individuals with no connection to the 1900 travel author.
