In 1859, she married army officer Robert Cary Barnard, who was the son of an old friend of her father's.[3][6] They had eight children.[1][7]
Barnard's father was one of the first Cambridge University professors to give illustrated lectures, for which he used poster-size illustrations. Some of these were based on rough sketches by Barnard that were then finished by the botanical artist
Walter Hood Fitch.[8]
She contributed plates to Curtis's Botanical Magazine in the years 1879–94.[9] She also illustrated
Daniel Oliver's 1864 Lessons in Elementary Biology, which was built on a manuscript left by her father. It stayed in print for several decades.[9] Although her output was not large, she was considered a very fine botanical artist.[10] She died on 19 January 1899.[9]
^Dates given for Barnard's birth year vary considerably in different sources. The Darwin Correspondence Project gives 1833 or 1834, while Darwin, Burkhardt, and Porter gives 1825, probably a mistake for her sister Frances Harriet. The preponderance of evidence appears to support 1833.
