The Right Rev. A. R. Tucker, Bishop of East Equatorial Africa, 1890. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Samuel A. Walker, 230, Regent-street. 'The Right Rev. Alfred Robert Tucker, D.D., is the new Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, who has left England to reside in Uganda, on the north-west shore of the great Lake Victoria Nyanza. He has been appointed Bishop by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in succession to Bishop Parker, who died there two years ago, and who had succeeded Bishop Hannington, murdered by order of King M'wanga on the confines of Uganda. Mr. Tucker, who is nearly forty years of age, was educated at Oxford, where he took his degree of M.A., but did not take holy orders till 1882 or 1883, and before that was an artist. He belongs to a family of artists, who among them have placed many pictures on the walls of the Royal Academy last year. He is married, and has one child. Since 1885 he has been curate of the parish of St. Nicholas, Durham'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
