Artist and Photographer

William Barry, son of George Barry, brewer, produced enamelled cartes de visite in the 1870s.  He gave up his photography in favour of his painting in the 1880s.  He appeared in the trade directories as:

- 1870-80:  Artist and Photographer

- 1881-88:  Artist and Landscape Painter.

His occupation in the 1881 census was: Artist - landscape and Marine. 

He appears to have continued as an artist and painter throughout his life.  He had exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy exhibitions on many occasions from 1864 until 1904.   [Des:MB]

In 1876, he advertised: 

"Enamelled cartes de visite @ 5/- per dozen

 Unrivalled style and artistic arrangement."

By 1883, William Barry shared a studio in Edinburgh with Michael Brown.

"My great great Grandfather was William Barry landscape, loch and harbour painter 19th century.  I know of one painting he did 1893 Loch Maree from Glen Dochard.
