POLLARD, James (1797-1867)
British Horse Racing. London: Thomas M'Lean, 1836.
A rare and celebrated suite of racing prints depicting the Grand Stands at each of the famous horse-racing courses of Goodwood, Doncaster, Ascot and Epsom. The individual plate titles are: 'Goodwood Grand Stand. Preparing to Start', 'Doncaster Grand Stand. Race for the Gold Cup,' 'Ascot Grand Stand. The Coming in', and 'Epsom Grand Stand. The Winner of the Derby Race'. Pollard, who was always fascinated by the spectators of sporting events, not only captures the energy of the race itself in these scenes but also the variety and frenzied excitement of the crowds who are looking on. On J. Whatman Turkey Mill, dates cropped. Bobins, IV, 1404; Siltzer p.221. Not in the Mellon Collection.
Oblong folio (382 x 484mm). A set of 4 aquatints coloured by a contemporary hand, with plate marks 348 x 442mm, by Richard Gilson Reeve after Pollard, heightened with gum arabic (second plate with small break along lower plate mark, which is reinforced on verso). Modern red buckram, gilt-lettered morocco label on front cover, cloth slipcase. Provenance: Joel Spitz (bookplate; acquired at Gimbels, 1938; sold in these rooms 27 May 2015, lot 152).
