"A gig passing The Eagle, Snaresbrook" is a notable painting by the English artist James Pollard, who was renowned for his depictions of coaching and sporting scenes during the 19th century. Created in the early 1830s, this artwork captures a quintessential moment of rural life in England, reflecting the social and cultural milieu of the time. The painting illustrates a gig, a light, two-wheeled carriage pulled by a single horse, passing by The Eagle, a well-known public house in Snaresbrook, a district in East London.

Pollard's attention to detail and his ability to convey movement and atmosphere are evident in this work. The composition is dynamic, with the gig and its passengers depicted in mid-motion, suggesting the brisk pace of travel. The background features the architectural details of The Eagle, which serves as a focal point and a landmark within the scene. The public house, with its inviting façade and bustling activity, adds a layer of narrative, hinting at the social interactions and daily routines of the period.

The painting is also significant for its historical context. During the early 19th century, the development of road networks and the popularity of horse-drawn vehicles like gigs were transforming travel and communication in England. Pollard's work provides a visual record of these changes, offering insights into the transportation and social habits of the era.

James Pollard (1792-1867) was the son of the engraver and publisher Robert Pollard. He initially worked in his father's business before establishing himself as a painter. Pollard's works are celebrated for their lively and accurate portrayals of the coaching era, and "A gig passing The Eagle, Snaresbrook" is a fine example of his skill in capturing the essence of 19th-century English life. The painting remains an important piece within the genre of coaching and sporting art, appreciated for both its artistic merit and its historical significance.
