EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Captain Charles Morice Pole, painted by John Francis Rigaud in 1781, showcases the distinguished naval officer in all his glory. Standing tall and proud, Captain Pole exudes authority and confidence befitting his esteemed position as Governor of Newfoundland. Dressed immaculately in a striking Georgian uniform adorned with intricate details, he wears a tricorn hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. His piercing gaze reflects years of experience at sea and hints at the adventures he has encountered throughout his illustrious career. In one hand, Captain Pole holds a telescope, symbolizing his role as a visionary leader who navigates through uncharted waters with precision and foresight. The painting's composition highlights the three-quarter length portrayal of this remarkable English sailor against a neutral background, drawing attention solely to him. Sir Charles Morice Pole's legacy extends beyond this exquisite artwork; he went on to become Admiral of the Fleet before passing away in 1830. This print serves as a testament to his significant contributions to the British Navy during an era when maritime supremacy was paramount. Preserved within private collections for generations, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures not only the essence of Captain Charles Morice Pole but also offers us a glimpse into the rich history and tradition associated with naval officers during the Georgian period.
