"The First Steeple Chase on Record" is a series of paintings created by the renowned British artist Henry Thomas Alken in 1839. Alken, who was celebrated for his depictions of sporting events and rural life, captured the essence of early 19th-century English steeplechasing through this series. The paintings are notable for their dynamic portrayal of the sport, which involves riders on horseback racing across open countryside, jumping fences, ditches, and other obstacles in a test of speed and endurance.

The series consists of six plates, each illustrating a different stage of the race. Alken's work is distinguished by its attention to detail and the lively, almost narrative quality of the scenes. The paintings not only depict the physical challenges faced by the riders and horses but also convey the excitement and unpredictability of the race. The series is considered a significant contribution to the genre of sporting art, reflecting both the popularity of steeplechasing in the 19th century and the broader cultural fascination with equestrian sports.

Alken's ability to capture motion and emotion in his work has been widely praised. His use of vibrant colors and precise brushwork brings a sense of immediacy and realism to the scenes. "The First Steeple Chase on Record" remains an important historical document, offering insights into the early days of steeplechasing and the social milieu of the time. The series is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike, and it continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
