Albert Winslow Barker, printmaker, draughtsman, and educator, was born on 1 June 1874 in Chicago, Illinois. 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. 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 discovered lithography in 1926 and was hopeful that he could translate the rich tones of charcoal to a limestone. He studied lithography with Bolton Brown during the summer of 1927 at the Summer School of Lithography and Etching in the Catskill region of New York. The process became Barker's medium of choice and he produced over 200 hundred works. His subject matter was often the rural landscapes in southeastern Pennsylvania.
