The Turner Prize Plate won by the St. George's Volunteer Corps, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Turner Prize Plate won by the St. George's Volunteer Corps, 1860. The achievements of the St. George's Rifle Corps, comparatively a small body, in all the prize contests in which they have been engaged, either by its members individually or collectively, have placed it in a distinguished rank amongst its fellows. On Monday, the 29th of October, the grounds of Burlington House afforded a gay and exhilarating scene, when Sir Hamilton Seymour, in the presence of a large number of persons of rank and fashion, presented the various trophies won at a recent contest by this corps... The Turner Plate, to be competed for annually by ten picked men from the Victoria, Queen's (Westminsters), and the St George's, was presented to the St. George's, who had gained it; and the medal accompanying it was given to Mr. F. Crooks. This prize is a statuette of the Queen, in solid silver, after the portrait of her Majesty by Chalons, the gift of Mr. Turner, of New Bond-street, an honorary member of the corps, and estimated to be of the value of upwards of 100 guineas. The statuette...represents her Majesty standing in her coronation robes, with her left hand resting on a truncated column'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
