Albert I (1255-1308), also known as Albert of Habsburg, was the eldest son of King Rudolf I, and was made landgrave of Swabia in 1273, looking over his father's possessions in Alsace. He was then made Duke of Austria and Styria in 1283, alongside his younger brother Rudolf II. When his father died without managing to secure Albert's election as successor, he was forced to recognise the sovereignty of the elected King Adolf of Nassau. Albert did not abandon his hopes for the German crown however, biding his time and working with Adolf's enemies and former allies to eventually have him deposed in 1298, with Albert elected as king in his place. He fought and slew Adolf at the Battle of Gollheim when he refused to give up power.

Isaac Newton Phelps 1854; carved 1855 Chauncey Bradley Ives In May 1854, Isaac Newton Phelps (1820-1888), a successful businessman and banker, sailed to Europe with his wife and two daughters. While in Rome, Phelps commissioned Ives, who by then had a solid artistic reputation in the Eternal City, to make this bust, as well as a bust of Sarah, his older daughter, and a statue of the younger Helen (later Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes) who recalled that everyone except her mother was "immortalized in marble" by Ives. The finely wrought bust of Phelps captures his intelligent and serious features as well as the fashionable hairstyle. The likeness is alert and truthful and reveals the artists neoclassical bent, as he depicted his subject draped in a toga, a typical portrait convention.. Isaac Newton Phelps 11236
