Biographical notes:
The quoted birth date comes from a family bible. However, a note on a drawing of Henry by his son T.H.Maguire states: 'Came from Ireland 1798, 9 years old'. This implies a birth year of 1789. The Dictionary of Irish Artists gives his year of birth as 1790 & place of birth as Co. Cavan.
Occupation: Painter, lithographer & author. Editor of 'The Connoisseur' & the 'Journal of the Fine Arts'. The National Portrait Gallery in London has 2 lithographs in its collection by Henry C. Maguire. (NPG D4596 of Fanny Elizabeth Vining, after John Jabez Edwin Mayall & NPG D20921 of General Tom Thumb.)
