EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sir Roger Curtis, 1st Baronet (1746-1816), Royal Navy Admiral" Sir Roger Curtis, an esteemed figure in the annals of the Royal Navy, is depicted in this evocative 18th-century portrait. Born in 1746, Curtis rose through the ranks to become a formidable naval officer, earning the title of Admiral in recognition of his exceptional service. The image captures the Admiral in the prime of his life, exuding an air of authority and confidence. He is dressed in the full regalia of his rank, with a crisp white shirt, red waistcoat, and blue coat adorned with gold braid and buttons. The contrast between the dark background and the Admiral's bright uniform adds to the striking visual impact of the portrait. Curtis's career in the Royal Navy spanned several decades, during which he played a significant role in various naval engagements. He served under Admiral Lord Howe during the Battle of Quiberon Bay in 1759, a crucial victory for the British forces during the Seven Years' War. Later, he distinguished himself in the American Revolutionary War, where he commanded the fleet that captured the French fleet at the Battle of St. Lucia in 1778. Aside from his military accomplishments, Curtis was also a recipient of numerous honors and awards. He was knighted in 1782 and created a Baronet in 1783, further cementing his place in British naval history. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country and the Royal Navy, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of maritime history.
