The Looking Glass

McLean's Monthly Sheet of Caricatures, or The Looking Glass (to give it its full title) was published by Thomas McLean of 26 Haymarketfrom 1st January 1830. Costing 3 S for a plain edition or 6 S for a coloured edition, the magazine was aimed squarely at the well off, and was an extremely well produced collection of satirical cartoons, the forefather of the later comics. From issue #8 it was drawn by Robert Seymour (the image below is issue #14).
