Mr. D. Macnee, the new President of the Royal Scottish Academy, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Thomas Annan of Glasgow. 'Having early developed a taste for drawing, he was apprenticed, about the year 1820, to Mr. John Knox, a celebrated landscape-painter and teacher of drawing...When about nineteen Mr. Macnee went to Cumnock, where he was engaged to paint wooden snuff "mulls," the place being famous for the decoration of these articles. He remained, however, at this scarcely worthy occupation a very short time. Dr. Lizars...having seen some anatomical drawings by the young artist, procured his being placed with his brother, an eminent engraver at Edinburgh...Mr. Macnee has painted a large proportion of the notabilities of Scotland, and also some English celebrities...his lively wit and genial manners have rendered him as popular in social life as in art'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
