EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished figure of Rear Admiral Philip Affleck (1726-1799), Commander-in-Chief in Jamaica and the Bahamas. Affleck's impressive uniform, adorned with gold braid and intricate silver and gold embroidery, signifies his high rank in the British Royal Navy. The white uniform, with its red sash and cuffs, is a symbol of his appointment as Rear Admiral of the White. The Admiral stands confidently before a richly patterned carpet, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword, while his left hand holds a globe. The globe represents his command over vast territorial waters, including the Caribbean islands of Jamaica and the Bahamas. Affleck's wig, styled in the fashion of the late 18th century, completes the elegant and formal appearance of the portrait. The intricate detailing of the portrait can be seen in the buckles on Affleck's shoes, the folds of his uniform, and the intricate design of his sword hilt. The portrait, created in the year of Affleck's retirement from active service in 1799, serves as a testament to his successful naval career and his significant contributions to the British colonial empire in the Caribbean. Philip Affleck's service in the Royal Navy spanned over six decades, during which he saw action in numerous battles and campaigns. He played a crucial role in defending British interests in the Caribbean against French and Spanish threats, and his leadership and strategic acumen earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and subordinates. This portrait, with its intricate details and grandeur, is a fitting tribute to a remarkable naval career.
