"Dr. Barnes, wearing cap and gown, a clerical wig, and bands, stands in profile to the right. He is tall, with a fierce Punch-like profile. A second imprint is etched in reversed characters in the shadow at his feet: 'Whitt . . . N° 31 Shoe La[ne], London'."--British Museum online catalogue
"Francis Barnes, D.D., Master of Peterhouse from 1788, was Knightsbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy from 1813 to 1838, but gave no lectures. He was 'a disreputable survival from the eighteenth century'. Winstanley, 'Early Victorian Cambridge', 1940, pp. 80, 175."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
