1. Title: Reverend John Cumming, Scottish Churchman (1807-1881). This evocative photograph captures the stern yet compassionate visage of Reverend John Cumming, a prominent Scottish churchman who dedicated his life to the spiritual and social well-being of his community during the 19th century. Born in 1807, Cumming was ordained as a minister in the Church of Scotland and went on to serve various parishes throughout Scotland. The image portrays Cumming in his later years, with a full beard and a serious expression, suggesting the weight of responsibility he bore as a spiritual leader. His attire, consisting of a collared shirt, waistcoat, and a long robe, is indicative of the formal dress code adhered to by Scottish churchmen during that era. Cumming's commitment to his faith extended beyond the confines of the church. He was deeply involved in various social welfare initiatives, advocating for the education and welfare of the less fortunate in his community. He was also a vocal supporter of the temperance movement, which aimed to reduce the consumption of alcohol and its negative effects on individuals and society. Despite the challenges and hardships faced during his tenure, including the Great Famine of the late 1840s and the Disruption of 1843, which led to the formation of the Free Church of Scotland, Cumming remained steadfast in his faith and dedication to his flock. His legacy as a compassionate and influential churchman continues to resonate in the annals of Scottish history. This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who devoted himself to the spiritual and social needs of his community, leaving an indelible mark on Scottish history.
