Biography:
Francis Thomas Dean (1843-1918) (Tom Carrington)
Known as Tom Carrington, he was a journalist, political cartoonist and illustrator in colonial Australia. Carrington was born in London, England, and educated at the City of London School. He received his first lesson in drawing from George Cruikshank, and went through the South Kensington course. He commenced drawing for Clarke & Co., Paternoster Row, a title-page to one of Thomas Mayne Reid’s novels being his first appearance in print.
Carrington came to Australia in the 1860s, and after some experience on the diggings at Wood’s Point, Jericho, Jordan, and Crooked River, he joined Melbourne Punch in 1866, succeeding Nicholas Chevalier and O. R. Campbell. With this paper he was connected for twenty-one years. Carrington left Punch when it was amalgamated with The Bulletin and joined the Melbourne Australasian.
