Forbes Macbean

Forbes Macbean was a British officer and artist.

Captain Macbean served in the 92nd Highland Regiment of Foot, known as the Gordon Highlanders, which was stationed in the Ionian Islands in 1851. In his spare time, the officer painted local priests, villagers, musicians, and merchants. Macbean carefully recorded the clothing and hobbies of the locals. After serving in Greece in 1853, Macbean traveled to Gibraltar, passing through Ottoman Constantinople, where he also made watercolor sketches.

Captain Macbean's drawings were used to make a set of engravings that were included in Sketches of Characters and Costumes in Constantinople, the Ionian Islands, etc., published in London in 1854.
