The Royal Hunt Cup, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Hunt Cup, 1850. Horseracing trophy...manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskill, of New Bond-street, after the design and model of Mr. Alfred Brown...It is of the Italian or Venetian school [and] very elaborately chased, and the inside is richly gilt and burnished. The stem by which it is supported is formed of the stalks and leaves of thistles, and the leaves spread out beneath it. On the base is a group, consisting of a deer newly killed, and two deer dogs, by which its death has been occasioned. These dogs are portraits of two celebrated hounds in the possession of Lord Bessborough, her Majesty's Master of the Buck-hounds...The base rests upon a plinth of ebony, festooned with oak-leaves in silver, supporting shields, left blank for the name and arms of the owner of the successful horse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

The Royal Hunt Cup, 1850: A Timeless Symbol of Horseracing Tradition This exquisite photograph print captures the essence of horseracing history with the depiction of The Royal Hunt Cup from 1850. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but its intricate design and rich history are well documented. Manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskill of New Bond-street, the cup is a stunning example of the Italian or Venetian school, with elaborate chasing and richly gilt and burnished interior. The stem of the cup is formed by the stalks and leaves of thistles, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the plant, while the base rests upon a plinth of ebony, adorned with oak-leaves in silver and supporting blank shields for the name and arms of the owner of the successful horse. The base of the cup showcases a group of a deer newly killed and two deerhounds, portraits of two celebrated hounds in the possession of Lord Bessborough, Her Majesty's Master of the Buck-hounds. These dogs, immortalized in this magnificent trophy, symbolize the hunter's triumph and the connection between man and nature. First published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, this photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate details of this beautiful trophy. The Royal Hunt Cup stands as a testament to the rich history of horseracing and the enduring tradition of celebrating the victor's success.
