Albert Barker
(American, 1874 - 1947)
Barker was born in Chicago where his parents were visiting on business, but his true home was Moylan, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Haverford College and he eventually earned a Ph.D. in Greek from the University of Pennsylvania. Barker initially taught Greek at Haverford and served as assistant professor of fine art at Swarthmore. For eight years he served the public schools of Wilmington, Delaware as director of art education.
In 1926 he discovered lithography and an ability to do on stone what he was used to doing with charcoal. In 1927, Barker met master lithographer Bolton Brown with whom he studied and became devoted to lithography. He was intent on recording the landscapes and farms of his native area. In 1934, he was given a solo show at the Smithsonian.

Stanley Anderson
(English, 1884-1966)
Anderson apprenticed with his father for seven years in the craft of engraving heraldic symbols on metal tankards and cups. But he sought a higher art and attended the Bristol School of Art where he learned to etch. His etching won him a scholarship to the Royal College of Art where he studied under Sir Frank Short. He arrived at pure line engraving via the drypoint technique.
Anderson taught on the faculty of Goldsmiths' College and the British School in Rome. He was later elected to full membership in the Royal Academy. His line engravings are some of the best work ever created in that medium
Peggy Bacon

She began exhibiting prints and drawings at the Whitney Studio Club in 1925 and continued to exhibit in Whitney Annuals and Biennials for the next 30 years. She illustrated more than 60 books, many of them for children.
She is best remembered for her excellent draftsmanship and her ability to communicate wit and humor through the graphic line.
