Tray commemorating Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). In black japanned sheet iron, with gilt foliage and acorns around the rim, and painted in oils. In the centre, the British lion supports a fallen Nelson who is shown mourned by a standing Britannia. A cherub on the left-hand side blows a trumpet while another on the left crowns the dying hero with a victor's wreath. A kneeling French naval officer to the left (probably intended as Villeneuve) offers him his sword.
