Standing to the left in profile, Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, later to become King of Hanover, raises his right hand, with his fingers touching his bald head, whilst reading a paper held in his left hand, which is inscribed with ‘Gazette – Sussex – Ranger of Windsor Forest – Cumberland Lodge &c.’. Cumberland’s stance and gesture suggests concern, likely the culmination of a number of issues surrounding him at the time. The paper makes reference to the fact that Cumberland had been overlooked for the post of Ranger of St. James’ Park and Hyde Pak, with his brother, Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, taking the position instead. Another point of concern for Cumberland involved the death of his brother, King George IV. On June 26th, 1830, not even a month prior to Heath’s execution of the caricature, Cumberland’s brother died, which, in turn, resulted in the end of Cumberland’s political influence. Finally, ‘Grave’ in the title is heavily shaded, alluding to the recent scandal involving Lady Mary Graves. Towards the beginning of 1830, several newspapers published articles that suggested that Cumberland was having an affair with Lady Graves, the wife of British peer and Member of Parliament, Thomas Graves. In the February, Thomas Graves committed suicide. It was widely suggested that the death of Thomas Graves was instigated by the affair, and many held Cumberland responsible.
