ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

[Untitled fox-hunting series, comprising a set of seven plates. London: S. and J. Fuller, 1 January 1818.]

A very rare expanded early series in which the two final plates portray the convivial drinking inseparable from a good hunt. The original watercolours are in the Mellon collection. Bobins IV, 1370; Mellon/Snelgrove p.11; Schwerdt III, p. 167 and pl. 227 (omitting 'The Refreshment' and 'The Toast', and suggesting Siltzer did not see this set); Siltzer p.58.



Oblong folio (434 x 538mm). Comprising 7 hand-coloured aquatint plates by T. Sutherland after Alken: 'Drawing a Cover,' 'Gone Away,' 'Full Cry,' 'The Leap,' 'The Death,' 'The Refreshment' and 'The Toast', all window-mounted with visible sheet area approx. 332 x 418mm and with plate marks approx. 304 x 367mm, with the addition of modern letterpress title (some colour fading, light marginal staining and soiling, 'The Refreshment' with closed tears at lower margin slightly affecting image, also slightly spotted in sky area). Green half morocco by Aquarius, spine gilt lettered, gilt cover label (a few light marks on front cover). Provenance: Le Vivier Library (Christie's South Kensington 30 October 2012, lot 13).
