EDITORS COMMENTS
Caleb Cushing: A Prominent Figure in American Law and Diplomacy This portrait captures the distinguished visage of Caleb Cushing (1800-1879), an influential American lawyer and diplomat who left an indelible mark on the political landscape of the 19th century. Born on February 13, 1800, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, Cushing rose to prominence through his legal prowess and diplomatic acumen. As a lawyer, Cushing quickly gained a reputation for his brilliant mind and eloquent oratory skills. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1822 and soon after began practicing law in Boston. In 1830, he was appointed as the United States District Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, a position he held until 1841. Cushing's diplomatic career began in earnest when he was appointed as the United States Minister to Russia in 1852. During his tenure in St. Petersburg, he played a crucial role in negotiating a treaty that resolved a long-standing boundary dispute between Russia and the United States. Cushing's success in Russia led to his appointment as the United States Minister to Great Britain in 1853, where he played a key role in securing British support for the American Civil War. This image of Cushing, taken during his time as the American Minister to Russia, reveals a man of great intelligence and gravitas. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the intensity and dedication he brought to his work. Cushing's contributions to American law and diplomacy continue to be celebrated, making this portrait a valuable historical document and an intriguing glimpse into the past.
