EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print of Captain Robert Knox, painted in 1711 by P. Trampon, offers a glimpse into the life of a distinguished figure from the East India Company. Seated with an air of authority and confidence, Captain Knox gazes directly at the viewer, his expression both enigmatic and commanding.
Clad in a brown silk gown and a red flower-embroidered waistcoat, Captain Knox exudes elegance and sophistication. His fair, full-bottomed wig adds to his regal appearance, while his left hand rests casually on a paper bearing the inscription 'Memoires of my owne life 1708'. This detail hints at the depth and complexity of this historical figure's experiences and adventures.
As the son of Robert Knox, a sea-captain in service to the English East India Company, Captain Robert Knox undoubtedly had many tales to tell. The painting captures not only his physical likeness but also hints at the wealth of knowledge and wisdom he possessed.
Displayed prominently in the National Maritime Museum in London, this portrait serves as a reminder of an era when exploration and trade shaped global history. It is a testament to Captain Robert Knox's legacy as a pioneering businessman and adventurer who played a significant role in shaping British colonial interests during the early 18th century.
