Wright Barker
(1863 - 1941)
 
Wright Barker was British Painter. He started his early working life as a weft worker in a local worsted textile mill, but by 1891 had established himself as an artist successful enough to exhibit a painting at a Royal Academy show.  His animal studies paintings are still popular today.
