New South Wales Regatta Plate, 1854. Creator: Unknown

New South Wales Regatta Plate, 1854. This very elegant Plate Prize, has been designed and executed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell...Surmounting the cover is a group, representing Wisdom instructing a youthful British sailor in the art of navigation. The handles of the Cup are formed of sea-horses; and in the panel on the body is a relievo of a yacht race. The body is decorated and supported with aquatic plants, such as the lotus, bulrush, &C, arising from rocks, over which water is flowing; while around the base is a group of a Triton and Naiad. The Cup is mounted on a black wood pedestal, which is decorated with silver panels, to contain the following inscription: This Cup, of the value of 200 guineas, is presented by the Committee of the Anniversary Regatta for 1855, to the winner of the race for first-class yachts, in commemoration of the foundation of the colony of New South Wales...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
