The steeplechase format, while continuing to illustrate horse racing was used for others - cars, greyhounds, motorcycles. Sometimes the boards are very decorative as in this case but they attempt to illustrate the perils of what are often quite dangerous sports.
*The licence plate of the car is marked C1912 which probably stands for Chad Valley with the date 1912. It was a common method used by the company for dating and marking their work when they used the standard term BRITISH MANUFACTURE.
