About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. What is clear is that Alice R. Humphrey wrote A Summer Journey to Brazil, published in 1900.
That book presents a detailed travel narrative of Brazil and reflects the interests of an English-language reader encountering the country during a period of major political and social change. Because so little else could be verified, the surviving work itself is the best guide to her voice: observant, descriptive, and eager to explain what she saw to readers back home.
