Thomas McLean, a name synonymous with art and satire. Known for his keen eye and wit, McLean brought to life various characters through his prints and lithographs. One such creation was "The Sleeping Beauty or Tellers Catching a Stray Vote" by John Doyle, capturing the political climate of 1833. In another piece titled "Mameluke Officer, " McLean's colored aquatint showcased the regal demeanor of an officer from 1818. Similarly, "Ladle Bearer" depicted an elegant figure in vibrant colors, while "Colonel of the Janissaries with jewels and daggers" highlighted the opulence within Ottoman military ranks. McLean's talent extended beyond military subjects as seen in "Running to Cover with the Bore Family in Full Cry. " This hand-colored engraving captured the thrill of a hunting scene from around 1830. Meanwhile, his lithograph titled "Title sheet of A Book of Nonsense by Derry Down Derry" demonstrated his versatility as an artist. Continuing on this artistic journey, McLean explored different cultures through works like "Ensign Bearer of the Spahis, " showcasing a member of this elite cavalry unit. He also delved into Albanian infantrymen and cavalrymen from the Ottoman Army in 1818. But it wasn't just historical figures that fascinated McLean; he also had a knack for capturing everyday life. In one print called "AT HOME in the NURSERY, " or The Masters and misses two shoes Christmas Party, " he portrayed children enjoying their festive gathering. Lastly, we cannot forget about McLean's collaboration with J. Netherclift on prints like "Living Made Easy. " These humorous pieces provided entertainment for Londoners during that era. Thomas McLean left behind a legacy filled with humor, creativity, and cultural exploration through his artwork. His ability to bring characters to life continues to captivate art enthusiasts to this day.
