Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Masterpieces of the Centennial International Exhibition, Illustrated, Vol. 2: Industrial Art
Turning now from this admirable production of Mr. Crane's, we give an illustration of a totally different branch of industry, in a specimen of work from the establishment of one of our own manufacturers. The comanche cup is exhibited by messrs. Tiffany Co., of new york. The main figure represents a Comanche hunter armed with a ri?e, clinging dexterously to a galloping mustang in such a way as to shield his body and retain the use of his arms for defence or attack. The bas-relief on the pedestal is a fine specimen of repousse chasing. Including the base, it is wrought wholly of sterling silver.
