I02 ANIMAL PAINTERS 



shows US the Inn — no doubt a famous resort of 

 Waltonians of that day — with a group of anglers in 

 the foreground. This canvas measures i7|- by ii^- 

 inches. 



An interesting work, and one which arrests 

 the eye by its somewhat unusual shape, is George 

 IV. going to Ascot Races. This is a long, narrow 

 canvas, measuring 39 by 10 inches. The King 

 occupies a carriage drawn by four post-horses ; 

 twelve out-riders in the livery of the Royal Hunt 

 precede His Majesty ; and three open carriages, 

 each drawn by four horses with post-boys, bring up 

 the rear ; behind these again we see the ordinary 

 traffic of the high road on a race-day. On the 

 heath numerous figures stand to salute the 

 Sovereign, and the landscape rolls away into the 

 background. 



H.R. H. the Prince of Wales has in his collection 

 at Sandringham two hunting pictures by James 

 Pollard, each canvas measuring" 35 inches by 24 

 inches. 



Pollard is better known by the engravings from 

 his works than by the pictures themselves. This is 

 natural enough in view of the great popularity of 

 the subjects upon which his brush was employed. 

 Several of these engravings were published in 

 connection with his father and brother, who carried 

 on their business in Hollo way, the style of the firm 

 being " R. Pollard & Son."
