Thomas Herbert Maguire was a painter and lithographer working in London in the middle of the nineteenth century. Maguire specialised in portraits and genre scenes; he was best known for a series of representations of eminent physicians and surgeons, which was commissioned by the College of Surgeons. He was lithographer to Queen Victoria, and exhibited a portrait of her at the Royal Academy in 1855. The National Portrait Gallery, London, has scores of his lithographs.
The Gallery will be open until 9pm this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
