# Alice Robertson Carr de Creeft

Alice Robertson Carr de Creeft (October 3, 1899 – August 2, 1996) was an American sculptor. In 1922, she became the first woman artist commissioned to create a public sculpture for Seattle, Washington.

## Early life and education

Alice Robertson Carr was born in Roanoke, Virginia, the daughter of William Watts Carr and Margaret MacDougall Carr. She had a twin brother, George Watson Carr, who became a geophysicist. She moved to the Sun River Valley in Montana with her family in 1909, and to Seattle soon after. She moved to New York after graduating from Lincoln High School in 1919, and became involved with the Art Students League. She studied drawing with George Bridgman and sculpture with Alexander Stirling Calder, with further studies under Albin Polasek in Chicago. Later in the 1920s, she went to Paris to study with Antoine Bourdelle, Stanley William Hayter, and Éduard Navellier.

## Career

In 1922, Carr became the first woman commissioned to create a public sculpture in Seattle, when she designed a fountain memorial for Francis Xavier Prefontaine in the city's Woodland Park. "The Fountain" included a 24-foot-long cast-concrete frieze, surrounding a semi-circular basin. She designed another panoramic memorial for the park in 1924, following the death of President Warren G. Harding. The Harding Memorial was dedicated in 1925. She spent several months in Hawaii after these back-to-back projects.
She began assisting sculptor José de Creeft in Spain in 1927. In 1930, she won a Crowninshield Award at the Stockbridge Art Exhibit in Massachusetts. After her divorce in 1939, she made sculptures, often in bronze with equestrian subjects, and taught art in Santa Barbara, California, for almost sixty years. She also designed floats for the Rose Parade in Pasadena. In 1983 she exhibited works alongside those of her daughter and granddaughter, at the Maryland Fine Arts Gallery in Monkton, Maryland.

## Personal life and legacy

Carr married José de Creeft in 1928, in London. They had two children, son William and daughter Nina de Creeft Ward, who became an artist herself. They divorced in 1939. She died in 1996, at the age of 96, in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Her memorials in Seattle's Woodland Park were removed during renovations in the 1970s; some of the bas-relief panels by Carr were destroyed, but some of the component statues were donated to the Chief Seattle Council of Boy Scouts.
# USS Goldcrest (AMCU-24)

USS Goldcrest (AMCU-24) was laid down as LCI(L)-869 by the New Jersey Shipbuilding Company, Barber, New Jersey, on 31 August 1944; launched on 29 September 1944; and commissioned on 7 October 1944.

## World War II Transfer to the Pacific Theatre

With shakedown in the Chesapeake Bay, the new large infantry landing craft departed Key West, Florida, on 12 November for the Pacific, transited the Panama Canal on the 19th, and arrived San Diego, California, on 1 December. There she joined LCI Group 57, sailed for Hawaii on 29 January 1945, and arrived Pearl Harbor on 7 February.
LCI(L)-869 got underway for the war zone on the 15th, refueled at Johnston Island five days later, and reached the Palaus, via Majuro, Kwajalein, Eniwetok, and Guam, on 7 April. There she joined a picket line which had been formed to seal off by-passed Japanese-held islands in the area from reinforcements and to protect American bases from invasion. While on picket station, LCI(L)-869 repulsed a suicide swimming attack, sank several floating mines which threatened American ships, and heard countless mortar shells whined overhead.
On the afternoon of 2 September, the Japanese forces in the Palaus surrendered.

## Mission complete

With her mission accomplished, LCI(L)-869 returned to the United States, decommissioned at Norfolk, Virginia, in March 1947, and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.
The landing craft was renamed USS Goldcrest and redesignated AMc(U)-24 on 7 March 1952. USS Goldcrest was converted to a minehunter at the Charleston Navy Yard, assigned to the 6th Naval District, and operated out of Key West, Florida. She decommissioned at Charleston, South Carolina, in March 1955 and re-entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at Charleston, South Carolina. There she was reclassified a coastal minehunter and redesignated MHC-24.
USS Goldcrest was struck from the Navy List on 1 January 1960 and scrapped.

# Dora Clarke

Dora Thacher Clarke, later Dora Middleton, (1895–1989) was a British sculptor and wood carver who also wrote about, and promoted African art.

## Biography

Clarke was born in Harrow in Middlesex. Her father, Joseph Thacher Clarke was an American architect. Clarke won a scholarship that allowed her to attend the Slade School of Fine Art. Aged fifteen, Clarke initially studied at the Slade on a part-time basis for three days each week throughout 1910 and 1911 but during 1915 and 1916 she studied sculpture there as a full-time student. Clarke first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1923 and continued to do so until 1959. In the early 1930s she was a regular exhibitor in group shows at the Goupil Gallery and in March 1937 had her first solo show at the French Gallery. She also exhibited at the Paris Salon and with the Royal Society of British Artists.
Clarke's works included bronze castings, memorials and wood sculptures, often of African heads. For example she was commissioned to sculpt the posthumous portrait bust of Sir Walter Morley Fletcher. The most notable of her memorials is the panel and medallion tribute to Joseph Conrad at Bishopsbourne in Kent, which was unveiled in 1927. Clarke also wrote about, and promoted African art and spent a year, between 1927 and 1928 in Kenya, where she made many drawings which when she returned to London she used as the basis for wood carvings and bronzes of tribal figures. Wood carving became her technique of choice, often working with hardwoods and, on occasion, sperm whale teeth.
Clarke married Admiral Gervase B Middleton in 1938 but rarely exhibited work under her married name. During World War II, Clarke was commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee to produce a portrait medallion depicting a serviceman who had been awarded the George Cross. This proved to be the only portrait medallion acquired for the WAAC collection.
Sculptures by Clarke are held in various museums, including the Ashmolean Museum which also holds a 1936 portrait of her by Orovida Camille Pissarro.
# Helen Mary Coaton

Helen Mary Coaton (1911–2005) was a British artist, known for her sculptures in both wood and stone.

## Biography

Coaton was born in Leicester and was educated at the Wyggeston School for Girls in that city before studying for a history degree at Bristol University. After graduating she enrolled in the Leicester College of Art where she was taught sculpture by Percy Brown from 1937 to 1942. In 1942 Coaton was awarded the Hinton Prize by the Leicester Society of Artists, of which she was an active member. She was also a member of the Artists' International Association and frequently exhibited both wood, stone and bronze sculptures with both bodies. For a time Coaton lived in Chelmsford in Essex before moving to Surrey, where she died in 2005. The New Walk Museum in Leicester holds examples of her work.
# Elisabeth Collins

Elisabeth Ward Collins (née Ramsden, 31 October 1904 – 17 January 2000), was a British painter and sculptor.

## Biography

Collins was born and brought up in Halifax in Yorkshire where her father was the editor, and owner, of a local newspaper, the Halifax Courier and Guardian and her mother, who was originally from Charleston in West Virginia, was an amateur concert pianist. Collins studied sculpture at the Leeds School of Art before enrolling in the Royal College of Art, RCA, in London, where she was taught by Henry Moore. At the RCA she met and, in 1931, married her fellow student Cecil Collins. Both artists worked in similar styles and often featured elements of folklore or fantasy in their paintings, which led to Elisabeth Collins' work being somewhat overshadowed by that of her husband. Elisabeth also frequently modelled for her husband and worked to support and encourage his work. For a time she exhibited under the name Belmoat to distinguish her work from his. From 1937 to 1945 the couple lived near the artistic community at Dartington Hall, the then home of Leonard Elmhirst and Dorothy Elmhirst, and this was perhaps Elisabeth Collins' most productive period as an artist. Working in gouache, ink and watercolour, Collins produced dream-like images of mystical figures that recalled the work of the surrealists she had previously met in Paris in the early 1930s. From 1948 the Collinses lived in Cambridge where they were among the founders of the Cambridge Society of Painters and Sculptors. At other times the couple lived in London, Yorkshire and Oxford.
In 1973 Collins and her husband were jointly commissioned to decorate a chapel in Chichester Cathedral. After his death in 1989, Elisabeth Collins used her husband's studio to produce a body of work. Retrospective exhibitions of Elisabeth Collins' art were held at both the Albemarle Gallery in London during 1989 and at England & Co. in 1996. Following the England & Co. exhibition, the Tate in London acquired four works by her.
In her later life, Collins became involved with the Russian Orthodox church in London and her funeral was held at the Orthodox church in Knightsbridge. She was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery with her husband.

## Biography

Steele was born in Reigate and was the youngest of the eight children of Harriet and John Steele, a local general practitioner.
Between 1892 and 1896 Steele studied at the National Art Training School, NATS, in London where she was taught by the sculptor Édouard Lantéri. Among her contemporaries at NATS, which became the Royal College of Art in 1896, were a number of other female students who became notable sculptors including Margaret Giles, Ruby Levick, Esther Moore, Lilian Simpson and Lucy Gwendolen Williams. While at NATS, Steele won several prizes including a gold medal in 1894. In 1896 Steele established a studio in Hammersmith in west London and soon came to be highly regarded as an Art Nouveau designer and metalworker. She created a large amount of work in silver including jewellery, mirror frames, caskets, walking stick heads, christening cups and alms dishes and, in bronze, portrait medallions and sundials. Steele also created trophies and civic regalia for a number of British local authorities.
Between 1896 and 1918 Steele had some 34 works shown at the Royal Academy including the statuette Hero finding the body of Leander and the bas relief Dawn Dispelling Sleep and Night. From 1896 onwards Steele also regularly exhibited with the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. Examples of her metalwork were included in both the 1901 Glasgow Exhibition and the 1903 City of Bradford Exhibition. For the city of Preston Steele created a triptych in silver and enamel which was presented to the Earl of Derby when he was granted the freedom of the city in 1903. Steele also designed a chain of office to be used by the mayoress of Preston from 1906. These, and several other designs by Steele, were featured in the art magazines of the time, including The Studio, the Art Journal and the Art Workers Quarterly.
On a contract basis, she produced designs for both Pilkington and Elkington & Co. and a number of her Pilkington tile designs were shown at the Paris International Exhibition of 1900. Her work was promoted by the Art Union of London which produced a limited edition of Dawn Dispelling Sleep and Night for subscribers in 1910. In 1914 she showed, at the Royal Academy, a medal design for the Women's School of Medicine and in 1917 designed a memorial, in stone, for the Weddell family of Glasgow.

# George Mills (cricketer, born 1793)

George Mills (March 1793 – August 1865) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1825 to 1831. He was mainly associated with Kent teams and made nine known appearances in first-class matches.
Mills was born at Benenden in Kent into a family of cricketers. He made his first-class debut in 1825 against a Sussex XI at Brighton, playing alongside his brother Richard. He made eight appearances for Kent sides between then and 1829. Mills' final first-class appearance was for the Players in the Gentlemen v Players of 1831. It is reported that the invitation to play in the match was meant to be made to Richard, but that, due to the method of addressing professionals simply by their surname, was misunderstood.
Mills died at Rolvenden in Kent in 1865 aged 72.
