Catalogue Note
Kelly relates that the Day book of William Croggon, Mrs. Coade's business partner, contains a bill to 'Drs Clark[e] and Fry[er]' for modelling a bust of Barry and making four copies of it. The bust was probably based on the frontispiece engraving by C.Picart (after a drawing by W.Evans) in Dr. Edward Fryer's two-volumne catalogue of Barry's work (1809). Of the four produced, one is in the crypt of St.Paul's, one was for the Royal Society of Arts (untraced) and two for Fryer himself. See the New DNB for recent entries on Edward Fryer (1761-1826) and James Stanier Clarke (1765?-1834).
