"Saint Albans Grand Steeple Chase" is a hand-colored aquatint by the English artist James Pollard, known for his depictions of sporting scenes and horses. The print, currently at the Art Institute of Chicago, shows a line of horses and riders in a grand steeplechase, a challenging race over obstacles, with a group of spectators watching in the foreground. Pollard’s meticulous details and vibrant colors capture the excitement and energy of this popular 19th-century sporting event.
