The Doncaster Cup, 1844. Silver racing trophy: 'The group, which is designed by Mr. Bailey, R.A., and by Mr. Macarthy (as far as the horses are concerned), represents Robin Hood saluting the King [Henry VIII] and his Consort [Catherine Parr], and begging their company in the forest. The figures are very beautifully modelled, the horses full of animation, and the attitudes excellent. The whole is in frosted silver, mounted on a plinth of ebony, on which is inscribed the words, "Doncaster, 1844". This elaborate group has been executed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, of Bond-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
