Albert Winslow Barker (1874-1947) was a lithographer and educator in Pennsylvania. Born in Chicago, Barker studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before teaching at the School of Industrial Arts in Philadelphia. In 1913 he enrolled at Haverford College and earned his A.B. before earning his PhD. Albert Winslow Barker, printmaker, draughtsman, and educator, was born on 1 June 1874 in Chicago, Illinois to Albert and Julia Winslow Barker. His early education was provided through home study and his first formal education was at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1890 to 1895 where he studied charcoal drawings, as well as met his future wife Bess Morot. Barker was colorblind so he turned to charcoal drawing which offered its own rich range of "color." In 1993, the Academy sent two of his charcoal drawings to the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Barker's work is represented in the collections of the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover; Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles County Museum; New York Public Library; Newark Public Library, New Jersey; and the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
