Kemble Esq. to J. Cooper 1817. John Philip Kemble (1757-1823) was famous for having a duel with the Irish actor James Aickin in 1792, having been challenged by his deputy manager after a row over working practices at the Drury Lane Theatre where Kemble was manager. They set up the duel in Marylebone; Aickin took aim at Kemble with his pistol and missed. Kemble refused to return fire and after discussion the two men were reconciled. An English actor famed particularly for his Shakespearian roles, Kemble was the brother of actress Sarah Siddons who was immortalised in Gainsborough's famous portrait. There are numerous portraits of Kemble by artists such as Sir Thomas Lawrence, James Gillray, William Beechey and Benjamin Holl. Known for playing dramatic roles, he is often depicted carrying a sword, for example in the roles of Rolla, Hamlet, Cato and Richard III. After playing his final role as Coriolanus (one of many Roman characters that he portrayed), he retired from acting in 1817, the year that this sword is inscribed as a gift from Kemble to J. Cooper.
