    "description": "This large watercolor was exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878. It depicts a crowd at the Derby, a horse race run each year at Epsom, just outside London. Traditionally a wide cross-section of society attended, many traveling from London and back for the day. Green captures a variety of social types, from the upper classes standing in their carriages to the rear, to the swells, a farmer, soldiers and urchins crowding along the rails, kept in check by a policeman.",
