In 1832 The Reform Act was passed in Britain, which reworked the electoral system that had remained unchanged for hundreds of years. To commemorate Charles Hanbury Tracy, Esq.'s efforts in promoting the passage of this Bill, the Independent Electors of Tewkesbury commissioned John Squrrier to design this silver gilt covered presentation cup which was executed by Joseph and John Angell.
The presentation cup is crowned with Britannia holding the Reform Bill in her right hand. At either side, figures of Hercules destroying the Hydra express the triumph of British Liberty over the corrupt system which the Reform Bill was calculated to destroy and the foot of the vase with its aquatic theme pays tribute to William IV the "Sailor King" who was instrumental in the Bill's creation.
