Prize Plate - Goodwood Races - the Steward's Cup, 1850. 'A Vase of tazza form, supported by the fan-palm. The group around the base represents "Alexander the Great contending with the lion." Reproving the effeminacy of his soldiers, in Persia he constantly took the exercise of war or of hunting, and exposed himself to danger and fatigue with less precaution than ever, so that a Lacedaemonian Ambassador, who attended him one day when he killed a fierce lion, said, "Alexander, you have disputed the prize of Royalty gloriously with the lion."...It was designed and modelled by Alfred Brown...and manufactured at the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, Bond-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
