Light's will

There is no disagreement that this formed part of the will document of Captain Francis Light, the individual credited with founding and naming Prince of Wales' Island off the coast of Quedah on 17 August 1786. He later served as Superintendent until his passing on 21 October 1794. On the eve of his demise, he composed this will, wherein he left the bulk of his assets to his partner, Martina Rozells, and granted his slaves the opportunity to purchase their freedom. Within the will, there exists a caricature or sketch that many speculate might portray Light himself. If indeed it does, this could be the only potential depiction of his appearance, as the statue of Francis Light at Fort Cornwallis was crafted in the likeness of his renowned son, William Light, who went on to establish Adelaide in Australia.
