Engraved nautilus shell. It shows a reclining winged female figure holding a palm branch, her right arm on a helmet. Above: ‘To the British Nation. This design represents Peace seated on the prow of a vessel, pointing to the victories achieved by the immortal Nelson.’ She points to a shield, on which is engraved: ‘Cape St Vincent, Mouth of the Nile, Copenhagen, Trafalgar.’ Below is a map of the southern hemisphere showing the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean and Southern Australia named as ‘New Holland’. The shell is signed by the artist below the map: 'Drawn and engraved by C.H. Wood.' Under a swag of roses: ‘When found at last he crushed them on the flood / and sealed the awful conquest with his blood, / Suspended be the shouts that rend the skies / England’s triumphant – but her Nelson dies.’ Under a depiction of the ship: ‘The Great Britain iron steam ship, she is the largest ship in the world. She is built of iron and propelled by the screw instead of paddles. ‘Also shown are the Royal Arms flanked by trophies, with the mottos: ’HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE’ and ‘DIEU ET MON DROIT.’ An animal's head is carved on the inner curve of the shell.
