The trophy is surrounded by various elements associated with horse racing at Ascot: a deer or stag figurine stands proudly atop the cup, representing grace and agility; a knight's helmet signifies chivalry and honor; while horses gallop energetically around the perimeter, embodying strength and speed. Published in The Illustrated London News on June 12th, 1875, this engraving captures the excitement surrounding the annual event known as Royal Ascot.
