Goodwood Race Prize - Phaeton and Apollo, 1854. Horse racing trophy. 'Cup...from the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell; it has been designed and modelled by Mr. H. H. Armistead, who has selected the mythological story of Phaeton and his father Apollo. The Horses of the Sun, harnessed to the Chariot of Day, are preparing to perform their journey through the heavens. Apollo, who, in evil hour, has promised to grant any request to Phaeton, is struck with dismay when the youth claims for one day to drive the celestial chariot. After in vain attempting to dissuade his son to withdraw his request, he finds himself compelled to comply with it...The artist...has placed Apollo in the chariot with his son, instructing him how to hold the reins to guide the horses previously to the commencement of his adventure...the horses remind one of the Elgin marbles...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
