Légende

The Manchester Cup, 1895. Sports trophy. 'This cup, run for on June 7, is in the Renaissance style of art, and rich in outline and decoration. The body is ornamented with panels in repousse. Finely modelled figures of "Truth" and "Prudence" are depicted on either side, supported by brackets, thus forming the handles. Surmounting the whole, "Fame" is represented. The vase stands on an ebony plinth, decorated with a shield and wreath of laurels: lions rampant at each side support shields. The cup has been designed and modelled throughout by Messrs. Elkington and Co., Limited, of St. Ann's Square, Manchester'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
