Those images of Morgan are the only ones I have seen - he looks misshapen in them for some reason. If they are all I have to work with, I guess I could make them suffice, but I'd rather have something better. As I understand it, that's Barber sitting to his right.
I wonder if the families of either Chuck Barber or Georgie Morgan have decent images in hiding. I don''t believe I know what Billy Barber looked like. Anyone?
Fantastic work. It looks like you found a second calling through your first passion. Or is it the other way around? Coins and art go so well together! Please keep it up. You're a true talent.

Quick search turns up this for Morgan, not really good enough.
Abviously cropped from this one. This appears to be a photo of the engravers at the mint so one of them may be Barber as well. Unfortunately the individuals are not identified. The image comes from Stack's though so they might have a better copy and further ID's.
Can't come up with anything on either of the Barbers

The original photograph shown by Conder 101 was copied in Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro's office on the morning of December 31, 1975. I was there for a couple of hours discussing engraving techniques and asked him if any old photos were on hand and he found this one. The names of the people shown (as written on the back of the photo) are as follows:
Top row from the left: Charles Greth, John Beatty, Harry Blythe, Charles Conway, and James Blythe.
Bottom row from the left: William H. Key, Charles E, Barber, George T. Morgan, and unidentified.
Mr. Gasparro thought that the picture had been taken about 1895.
I have furnished this photograph on several occasions to numismatic publications and this is presumably where Stack's got their copy.

I have not seen a photograph of William Barber but his son Charles executed a 51mm medal of him about 1880.

Can we say we knew you when?

<< <i>Denga - Is the photograph Conder101 posted the only known photograph of either Barber or Morgan? >>
The group photograph is the only one I know of but no doubt there are others to be found, owned by present-day relatives.
