Artist

Thomas McLean

Thomas McLean is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Thomas McLean made crisp prints of early-19th-century London’s lively stage scene. His 1827 print shows Mrs. Vining mid-dance in a feathered costume, while his 1831 Sketches of the Musical World No. 1 crowds the sheet with singers, fiddlers, and foot-stomping crowds. Look past the footlights and you’ll spot the same quick lines and social detail in every sheet he sold from his shop at 26 Haymarket.
