Goodwood Races: the Steward's Cup, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Goodwood Races: the Steward's Cup, 1862. The Stewards Cup, which was run for on the first day, and won by Captain Christie's Lady Clifden, is a silver vase from the manufactory of Mr. C. F. Hancock...in imitation of an ancient one in majolica-ware, the property of A. Barker, Esq. The form is triangular: three richly-chased grotesque masks form the handles, and on the body of the vase are three bas-reliefs representing ancient battles. The foot is composed of lions claws and classical ornaments, and the stand of the cup on which it is raised is also ornamented with masks, shields, &c. in the same style'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the Goodwood Races in 1862, specifically to the presentation of the Steward's Cup won by Captain Christie's Lady Clifden. The Steward's Cup, which was the first race to take place on that day, is depicted here with its elegant silver vase, a magnificent piece of 19th-century craftsmanship. The vase, manufactured by Charles Frederick Hancock and his company, is shown in the photograph in intricate detail. Its triangular form is adorned with three grotesque masks as handles, and the body of the vase features three bas-reliefs representing ancient battles. The foot of the vase is composed of lions' claws and classical ornaments, while the stand on which it rests is decorated with masks, shields, and other classical motifs, all in the same richly-chased style. This exquisite vase, which was in imitation of an ancient one in majolica-ware, was the property of A. Barker, Esq. The photograph is from the Illustrated London News, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of horse racing events during the 19th century. The intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship of the Steward's Cup are a testament to the artistry and skill of Charles Frederick Hancock and his team. This photograph print is a treasure trove of history, art, and the rich heritage of horse racing in Britain.
