Place of death

[edit]

This source says Barber died in Pietermaritzburg. Gobōnobō + c 04:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC) This source indicates she died in Malvern, Natal, which I believe is Queensburgh now. Gobōnobō + c 05:25, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos

[edit]

I'd like to compliment the author and editors ofthis article on a particularly good introduction. So many Wikipedia introductions are one-liners or, at the other extreme, tell just about the whole story, that it's become quite frustrating. This one stands well above the pack. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:42, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Artist

[edit]

She is among the artists in Women and Art in South Africa by Marion Arnold. The book reports that the largest body of her artwork is in the Albany Museum, Grahamstown (page 150). --Iopensa (talk) 16:08, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

I amended the statement that she was british, apart from the first two years of her life she lived in South Africa. During colonial times nationality and citizenship wer murky concepts, I suspect she may have considered her self as South Africa, though of course she was still a British subject.
