A Great Man at the Turf or Sir Solomon in all his Glory is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, published on June 1, 1796. The artwork is a pointed commentary on the horse racing scene of the time, particularly focusing on the figure of Sir Solomon, who is depicted in a comically exaggerated manner. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and keen observation, uses this print to critique the excesses and follies of the upper classes who were engrossed in horse racing, a popular pastime in late 18th-century Britain.

The print features Sir Solomon, likely a fictional character or a caricature of a real person known to Gillray's contemporaries, dressed ostentatiously and surrounded by symbols of wealth and status that underscore his vanity and the superficial nature of his pursuits. The artwork is rich in detail and emblematic of Gillray's style, which often included intricate and layered imagery to enhance the satirical impact of his work.

A Great Man at the Turf or Sir Solomon in all his Glory is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre that includes over a thousand prints, which were widely circulated and celebrated for their humor and social critique. This particular print not only serves as a humorous depiction but also as a social commentary, reflecting Gillray’s critical view of societal norms and the behavior of the elite during his time. The print remains an important example of Georgian-era satire and offers insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the period.
