Footnotes:
Bonhams, 19 July 2002, lot 489

The poignant sentiment displayed on the box echoes the extraordinary contradicting emotions of elation and grief felt by Britons in the aftermath of Trafalgar. Nelson's life was seen as a huge but necessary sacrifice for Britain's national security and pride.
