Framed Print of The Warwick Race Cup, 1871. Creator: Unknown
The Warwick Race Cup, 1871. The Warwick Cup this year, which is a magnificent tazza, standing nearly 3 ft. high, and weighing 333 oz, of silver, has been manufactured by Mr. Charles Crich, of Upper-parade, Leamington. The cup stands on an ebony plinth. On one side of the base is a view of Warwick Castle, in relievo; on the other is a tablet with an inscription. The stem of the cup is supported by two figures, fully armed - the one a Cavalier, and the other a Round-head soldier. The rim of the tazza is so arranged as to afford space for four panels, filled with representations in relievo of the exploits of Guy, Earl of Warwick... and whose hermit's cave still exists at Guy's Cliff, where he retired for repentance and prayer. The legendary feats of the mighty Guy selected for the embellishment of the cup are his combat with the Saracen giant, his slaughter of the Green Dragon, his encounter with the wild boar, and his victory over the dun cow of Dunsmore-heath. The handles of the cup fall in graceful curves to the stem. The cover is surmounted by a spirited group showing the fight for the Royal Standard at the battle of Edgehill, in October, 1642, where Sir William Varney, the King's standard-bearer, was slain'.
