"Fores's Coaching Incidents" is a series of 19th-century paintings by the British artist John Harris (1811–1865), who specialized in coaching and equestrian scenes. The series was commissioned by the London-based publisher Messrs. Fores of Piccadilly, known for producing and selling prints that catered to the sporting and coaching interests of the British gentry. The paintings depict various incidents and scenarios that might be encountered during the age of horse-drawn coach travel, a period when the coaching industry was at its peak before the advent of the railways.

John Harris, not to be confused with the naval painter of the same name, was an accomplished artist whose work captured the spirit of the coaching era with great detail and vivacity. His paintings in this series are characterized by their dynamic composition, attention to the accuracy of the coaches, horses, and human figures, and the ability to convey the speed and excitement of the coaching journey. Each scene in "Fores's Coaching Incidents" is a snapshot of the adventures and perils faced by travelers and coachmen alike, from treacherous weather conditions to the camaraderie and competition on the roads.

The series was well-received in its time, and the prints made from Harris's paintings were popular among the affluent classes who were nostalgic for the romanticism of road travel, even as it was being supplanted by the railways. Today, "Fores's Coaching Incidents" serves as a valuable historical record of a bygone era and is of interest to both art historians and those studying the social history of transportation in Britain.

The original paintings from the series are significant works within the genre of coaching art and are sought after by collectors. They are also an important part of John Harris's artistic legacy, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of the coaching age and his contribution to British sporting art.
