* E. M. Barry was the third son of Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860), whose greatest achievement was the New Palace of Westminster, a vast project completed by the son ten years after his father's death. Edward Barry designed the Royal Opera House in Valletta, the New Covent Garden Theatre, extensions to the National Gallery (the `Barry Rooms`), Canford School in Dorset and Crowcombe Court in Somerset. See Barry's large watercolour design for St. Pancras Station (Christies, London, November 17th 2005, lot 70)
