Prize Plate - Goodwood Races - the Goodwood Cup, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Prize Plate - Goodwood Races - the Goodwood Cup, 1850....Cup, manufactured by Mr. Hancock...after a design of the eminent French artist, M. Louis-Victor Freret...The horse introduced is modelled by Mr. McCarthy. It consists of a group, exquisitely wrought in silver, disposed upon a ground of bronze, and a large ebony pedestal. The incident represented is Robin Hood contending for the golden arrow at the great archery fete given by the Sheriff of Nottingham, with the view of attracting the great outlaw from his stronghold...The sheriff is mounted on horseback, superintending the game. The other figures are Robin, in the act of discharging his successful arrow, and Little John, who is in a bending posture, watching the progress of the game, his quiver and arrows having been thrown down beside him. Two Scottish greyhounds form interesting companions to the archers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
