The Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta - the Emperor's Cup, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta - the Emperor's Cup, 1858. When the Emperor Napoleon III. visited her Majesty last summer at Osborne, he honoured the Royal Yacht Club-house at West Cowes with a visit, and, as an acknowledgment of his kindly feeling for the members, requested their acceptance of a cup, to be sailed for as a prize, in commemoration of his own former connection with the club. Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street, was honoured with his order on the occasion for the Napoleon Cup. It consists of a large silver tankard. The top is formed by a group of lion-hunters, the horse of one of whom has been thrown down in the fury of the combat. Over the fallen body the lion is making a rush with outstretched paw at the unhorsed rider, who is protected by his companions, one of whom is in the act of spearing the enraged animal. The critical moment of the combat is well represented, and the group is spirited, without undue exaggeration. Round the tankard are embossed garlands, and it bears the Imperial crown and monogram, with an appropriate inscription'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta, specifically the Emperor's Cup race held in 1858. The event took place during a visit of Emperor Napoleon III to Queen Victoria at Osborne House, where he graciously bestowed a large silver tankard as a prize for the regatta. Known for his past affiliation with the Royal Yacht Club in Cowes, the Emperor's gesture was an acknowledgment of his warm feelings towards its members. The tankard, designed as a large silver cup, is adorned with an intricate group of lion-hunters in the act of combat. The scene represents the critical moment of the struggle between the rider and the enraged lion, with one hunter attempting to spear the animal while the others protect their companion. The group is spiritedly rendered without excessive exaggeration. The top of the tankard is embellished with garlands, the Imperial crown, and the monogram of Napoleon III. The inscription on the cup adds to its historical significance. This photograph, taken from the Illustrated London News in 1858, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and camaraderie of the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta during the Victorian era. The Emperor's Cup race was a cherished tradition, and the presentation of this magnificent tankard added to the prestige and allure of the event.
