Framed Print of The Buluwayo Spring Handicap Challenge Cup, 1895. Creator: Unknown
The Buluwayo Spring Handicap Challenge Cup, 1895. Presented by the Right Hon. Cecil J. Rhodes. This cup is of Early English or goblet form, decorated with the leaves of the acanthus and various water-plants. Around the upper part of the body a bas-relief, beautifully executed en repoussé, represents a horse-racing scene, whilst the handles are formed by extremely well modelled heads of African elephants. The cover is surmounted by a horse and jockey in full racing panoply. The black ebony plinth upon which the cup rests is enriched by two figures, one being a model of a gold-miner, and the other a Cape rifleman; these figures are cast and chased in solid silver. The cup is manufactured by Elkington and Co. Limited, of Birmingham'. British mining magnate and politician Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony in southern Africa from 1890 to 1896. He and his British South Africa Company founded the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), which the company named after him in 1895. The name "Rhodesia" reflected Rhodes's popularity among white European settlers who had been using the name informally since 1891. He built a house for himself in 1897 in Bulawayo. From "Illustrated London News", 1895. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
