Prize Plate - Goodwood Races - the Steward's Cup, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Prize Plate - Goodwood Races - the Steward's Cup, 1850. A Vase of tazza form, supported by the fan-palm. The group around the base represents "Alexander the Great contending with the lion." Reproving the effeminacy of his soldiers, in Persia he constantly took the exercise of war or of hunting, and exposed himself to danger and fatigue with less precaution than ever, so that a Lacedaemonian Ambassador, who attended him one day when he killed a fierce lion, said, "Alexander, you have disputed the prize of Royalty gloriously with the lion."...It was designed and modelled by Alfred Brown...and manufactured at the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, Bond-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print depicts the Prize Plate for the Steward's Cup at the Goodwood Races, an esteemed horse racing event in England during the 19th century. The centerpiece of the plate is a tazza-form vase, elegantly supported by the fan-palm. The base of the vase is adorned with an intriguing group representation of Alexander the Great engaging in a fierce contest with a lion. Alexander III of Macedon, popularly known as Alexander the Great, was a legendary king renowned for his military prowess and conquests. In this depiction, Alexander is shown reprimanding his soldiers for their effeminacy, and in response, he constantly took on the challenges of war and hunting, exposing himself to danger and hardship with little regard for personal safety. The design and modelling of this exquisite Prize Plate were the work of Alfred Brown, while the manufacturing process was carried out at the esteemed establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, located on Bond-street. The Illustrated London News, a leading Victorian-era newspaper, featured this image in its pages in 1850. The image is a engraving, capturing the essence of the Victorian era's love for nature and the sporting life. The presence of the lion, a symbol of strength and power, adds to the overall grandeur of the Prize Plate. This fascinating piece is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the Goodwood Races during the 19th century.
