Элис Барбер Стивенс (анг. Alice Barber Stephens; 1858-1932) - американская рисовальщица, гравёр, живописец, иллюстратор. Обучалась в Филадельфийской школе дизайна для женщин (Philadelphia School of Design for Women), затем в Пенсильванской академии изящных искусств (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts). Безденежье вынудило Барбер Стивенс покинуть академию в 1880 году и работать гравёром, копируя рисунки и картины на деревянные доски, которые использовались в качестве печатных форм в издательском деле. С 1885 года, после ухудшения здоровья, Стивенс иллюстрирует журналы, сначала используя технику рисунка тушью, позднее - уголь, масло и акварель. Работы Элис Барбер Стивенс публиковались в многотиражных журналах, таких как "Харперз янг пипл" (Harper's Young People), "Скрибнерз мансли" (Scribner's Monthly), "Харперз уикли" (Harper's Weekly), "Лэдиз хоум джёрнэл" (The Ladies Home Journal).

Alice Barber Stephens (1858-1932) was an American draftsman, printmaker, painter, and illustrator. She studied at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and then at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Lack of money forced Barber Stephens to leave the academy in 1880 and work as an engraver, copying drawings and paintings onto wooden boards used as printing plates in publishing. From 1885, after her health deteriorated, Stephens illustrated magazines, first using ink drawing, and later charcoal, oil, and watercolor. Alice Barber Stevens's work has appeared in magazines such as Harper's Young People, Scribner's Monthly, Harper's Weekly, and The Ladies Home Journal.
