Resource: Horatio Nelson – for that friend of yours who has everything…

“Nelsonia” are items of interest for collectors who collect items of, about, concerning, regarding, portraying, discussing etc. Horatio Nelson. As is the nature of collectible items, some are tasteful and fascinating, others are – not so much.

I haven’t made up my mind about the following item yet, but I simply couldn’t deprive you of this truly unique piece of decorative art, dating very early 19th century.

Actually, I think there should be 18th century Royal Navy action figures. Perfect for history lessons at school – just imagine how much fun the kids would have if they could have sword-fights between Nelson and The Joker! Collingwood and Magneto! Emma Hamilton versus Harley Quinn!

And there had to be dinosaurs! And flying monkeys! And spaceships! HMS Victory versus a Romulan Bird of Prey. Oh the possibilities…!
