ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

Grand Leicestershire Steeple Chase on the 12th of March, 1829. London: R. Ackermann, 1830.

A rare and splendidly presented series commemorating this flat-out race of about four miles from Nowsley Wood to Billesdon Coplow, won by Sir Harry Goodricke's Magic. Dick Christian on Mr. Maxse's King of the Valley came in second despite taking a header in plate 6. The series title is given at the top margin of each plate; included with the caption at the bottom margin are the names of horses and riders and a race commentary. The first plate, 'The Start', includes the race officials 'Nimrod' and Captain Barclay, the latter famous for his feats such as walking 1000 miles in 1000 hours. Originally issued in wrappers with the printed title: The Grand Steeple Chase over Leicestershire on the 12th of March, 1829. Bobins II, 764; Mellon/Snelgrove 68; Siltzer p.61; Wilder p.69.



Oblong folio (371 x 455mm). 8 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, by C. Bentley after Alken (some faint even toning perhaps slightly more noticeable to plates 2 and 6, otherwise a clean, fresh set); modern burgundy half crushed morocco.
