MACKINTOSH. 19th century. Address: St. Andrew Street, Edinburgh.
MACLISE (1806-1870). Born at Cork. Historical painter. Amongst his
drawings bequeathed to the Victoria and Albert Museum by Mr. Foster,
there are two heads in black silhouette and two cut silhouettes measuring
1¼ inches.
MANDERER, E. Illustrated a children’s book with silhouettes.
MANNERS, W. H. Cut the silhouette of Sir Thomas Swinnerton Dyer, R.N.,
eighth baronet. Born 1770, died 1854.
MAPLETOFT. A fellow of Pembroke College. Cut a black shade of Thomas
Gray, “taken after he was 40.” In the Strawberry Hill collection a
profile of the poet was described as “Mr. Thomas Gray, etched from his
shade by W. Mason.” Mr. George Sharf, in the _Athenæum_, February 24th,
1894, considers it a happy instinct to make use of the silhouette for
producing a more complete portrait. The black shade of the poet preserved
at Pembroke College directly inspired the best known portrait of Gray by
Basire.
MARIA THERESA. Two white paper cuttings appeared in the Brünn Exhibition
attributed to the scissors of the Empress.
MARTINI, VIGER. On painted silhouette of Blondin, dancer at the Théatre
Italien, Comedié Français, and others. In the National Portrait Gallery.
