I have been contacted by a non-astronomer who is researching the family of the pioneering spectroscopist, Frank McClean (1837-1904), especially their engineering connexions. She asks me if there is a photo of Frank (not to be confused with his son Sir Francis Kennedy McClean (1876-1955), aka Frank). Might anyone know?

Jeremy,
The Analysis of Starlight by Hearnshaw p.59 2 paragraphs on Frank McLean.
But no picture, however the book gives some background information.

Hi Jack,
I do not see a picture of McClean in my copy of Analysis of Starlight, only descriptions of his work.Jeremy's request was for a reference to a picture of him.Attached is a picture of him from the PDF I referred to in my earlier post.
Best wishes
Denis
Many thanks for your replies, Denis and Jack.
Denis, I'll will send the researcher the link to the photo.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
