Description:

Rare early engraved portrait of Frederic Barker (1808-1882) was the second Anglican bishop of Sydney.

Barker received a D.D. by mandate at Cambridge on 22 November 1854 and was consecrated on St Andrew’s Day, 30 November, in Lambeth Parish Church. Champneys preached the sermon. Barker, his wife and several clergy and ordinands sailed from Liverpool in the Mermaid on 28 February 1855. They were welcomed at Melbourne but the absence of Bishop Charles Perry deprived Barker of episcopal advice on current constitutional matters. On 25 May the party reached Sydney, where Barker was enthroned in St Andrew’s temporary cathedral on 31 May.
