    • The Derby Day (1858): Dočarava atmosferu i društvene interakcije na trci Epsom Downs. Ova je slika bila nevjerojatno popularna, pa su čak postavljene ograde kako bi se upravljalo gomilom ljudi koja ju je posmatrala.

  • Član Kraljevske akademije: Izabran kao član Kraljevske akademije (Royal Academician) 1853. godine.
  • Dugovječnost: Frith je živio nevjerojatno dug život, svjedočivši značajnim promjenama u svijetu umjetnosti tijekom viktorijanske ere. Preživio je mnoge svoje suvremenike iz skupine "The Clique".
