Nelson's Spyglass by Sophie Campbell

Each of these 101 strange and curious objects from British history has an extraordinary story to tell. Many royal possessions are inside, including the shirt of that Charles I was wearing when he was executed and Queen Victoria's dancing shoes, along with curiosities such as Darwin's walking stick, the last letter that Dickens ever wrote, the handwritten report (by the captain of the Carpathia) on the rescue of the Titanic's survivors and Emily Wilding Davidson's return ticket to Epsom. Each offers a fascinating snapshot of Britain's amazing history.
Sophie Campbell began her career writing and drawing well-received independent comics including Wet Moon, Shadoweyes, and The Abandoned. She further proved her versatility as an artist when she began drawing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW, where her kinetic action sequences and distinctive character art were a hit with fans and critics alike. Campbell was the first artist on the IDW continuing series Jem and the Holograms, where she gave the characters a modern redesign and established the unique look of the comic. She continues to work on several projects for IDW, as well as her own independent comics.
