Are you looking for background on the print, the stocking box, or a price you might be able to get to sell the box? Do you know if the artist's first name was James? Or are you inquiring about a four-in-hand knot? Please advise if the print is of horses or clothing?
If you are inquiring about J. (James) Pollard, I found a web site that was offering various Pollard posters. It is listed below if you would like to check it out yourself. The posters ranged in price from $4.19 up to over $100.00.

Here's another site. If you look off to the right of the screen it brings up, you will see there are definite places that refer to James Pollard.

James Pollard was a British painter who lived from 1792-1867. I've scanned through several sites and found many of James Pollard's prints and paposters for sale. However, I have not been able to find a print or poster of "four-in-hand." I found on the site listed below, about 3/4 of the way down the page an oil painting titled "A Barouche drawn by Four Greys passing a Jacobean Mansion, 1830 (oil on canvas)."

As for your inquiry about "what is a stocking box?" The research seems to indicate that statement is self-explanatory. They were boxes which held stockings that women purchased in the 1940 circa.
I hope what I've found has been some help to you. Let me know if you need anything further.
