The Doncaster Cup, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The Doncaster Cup, 1845. The design for this magnificent prize-plate is stated to have been suggested by the Right Honourable Earl Spencer; and it bears the impress of his truly classic mind. The composition represents Diomed in one of the ancient quadrigae, or four-horsed chariots and driver, at full speed...the fields in the group being bright green, and contrasting well with the silver-work and black marble base...The anatomical beauty of the horse, his muscular powers, and proportions, are admirably displayed. The design was sketched by Frank Howard; the horses were grouped by Macarthy; and the whole modelled under the superintendence of Mr. Bailey, the Royal Academician. The group has been admirably executed in silver by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, late Storr and Mortimer...The value is 300 guineas. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
