EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable box that once belonged to the esteemed Captain Thomas Hardy. Crafted from wood and silver, this exquisite piece is an 18th-century creation by an unknown English artist. The box holds a fascinating history as it was ingeniously fashioned from a splinter of the HMS Victory, Lord Nelson's legendary flagship during the historic Battle of Trafalgar. The inscription on the box reveals its significance, stating that it was presented to Captain Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy shortly after the battle by a portion of the ship's crew. This precious artifact was later gifted to Vice Admiral Kerr by Hardy's widow on January 23rd, 1840. The delicate carving and intricate plaque further enhance its antique allure. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical treasure, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship and rich heritage.
