"Gezicht op Sutton High Street bij de Cock herberg" (View of Sutton High Street at the Cock Inn) is an 1838 print by John Harris, depicting a bustling scene of carriages and horses in Sutton, England. The artwork is a part of a series called "Scenes on the Road or a Trip to Epsom and Back," suggesting it is a representation of a specific moment in time, perhaps capturing the excitement of a journey to the Epsom Derby, a famous horse race. The print's detailed depiction of the street, with its architecture, crowds, and horses in motion, gives a glimpse into 19th-century life in England and serves as a valuable historical document of travel and social customs.
