Légende

Goodwood Races: The Chesterfield Cup, 1864. 'The Chesterfield Cup is a group in oxydised silver, representing a knight rescuing a lady from a dragon. The subject is taken from Spenser's "Faerie Queen," and the horse and the figure of the woman clinging to her preserver have been admirably managed by Mr. H. Armstead, to whom the work of modelling was intrusted by Mr. Harry Emanuel, of Bond-street. It was won very easily by Mr. Whittaker's King of Utopia, against whom 16 to 1 was obtainable in a field of twenty-five'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
