The Newcastle Plate, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The Newcastle Plate, 1844. Horse racing trophy: The magnificent piece of plate which is to be run for at Newcastle-upon-Tyne...has been executed by Messrs. Lister and Sons...The subject is from Froissarts " Chronicles, " and the old " Ballad of Chevy Chase, " which is deeply interesting to Northumbrians, the memorable battle occurring in that county. The main incident - " the fall of the Douglas, who was slain by an arrow" - is the one chosen by the modeller, Mr. Sharp: the chief is seen at the moment when he is struck by the arrow which pierced him to the heart; the right foot of the archer is placed on the deer, and the Douglas wavering in his seat, his hand on the dart which is draining his lifes blood...Her Majesty and Prince Albert have honoured Mr. Lister, by inspecting the plate at Buckingham Palace...the value is one hundred and fifty pounds. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
