EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, showcases Cumberland's distinguished appearance and reflects the fashion trends of the time. Cumberland was not only an English dramatist but also a civil servant who played a significant role during the American War of Independence as a negotiator with Spain. His plays were known for their sympathetic portrayal of colonial characters, making him highly regarded in literary circles. The photograph is sourced from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. This historical artifact offers us insight into both Cumberland's profession and his impact on British society during this period.
