Goodwood Races: the Goodwood Cup, 1862. Creator: Unknown

Goodwood Races: the Goodwood Cup, 1862. The racing trophy selected for the Goodwood Cup, which was won by Lord William Powlett's Tim Whiffler, is a silver candelabrum, or centrepiece, for lights or fruit, from the manufactory of Messrs. London and Ryder...Around the base of the candelabrum - a "symbol of light" - are seated the Greek, Latin, and English poets - viz. Homer, Virgil, and Milton, the three great lights of literature; surrounding the base are the celebrated lines of Dryden: "Three poets, in three distant ages born, &c". The chased pillar, or shaft, supports a novel arrangement in the form of an Etruscan tazza of glass, containing fruit; above are placed four pretty flamingo-boys, as "genii of goodness, " carolling and rejoicing over the Genius of Poesy. On the summit is placed a winged figure of Fame scattering her wreaths; and six fantastic descending branches for lights issue from quaint masks beneath her feet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
