Tampa is a city in Florida located on Tampa Bay on the western side of the Florida peninsula. Fort Brooke was established in 1824 shortly after the United States acquired Florida from Spain. The city was a frontier outpost for a long time. Tampa has long been influenced by the large Cuban population in the area and the many cigar factories, many of which were located in famed Ybor City.

“The Portrait of Mr W. H.” was first published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1889 as a short story dealing with forgery, literary interpretation, and Shakespeare’s Sonnets. After its initial publication, Wilde drafted an expanded version that would have been entitled The Incomparable and Ingenious History of Mr W.H; however, it was lost for over twenty years following his bankruptcy sale. The manuscript came to light when it was published by Mitchell Kennerley in 1921 as The Portrait of Mr W.H., now doubled in size.
