[Fores's Hunting Sketches: The Right and Wrong Sort, or a Good and Bad Way of going across Country. London: Messrs. Fores, 1859.]

Grand plates illustrating correct and incorrect horsemanship in riding to hounds, posthumously executed for Fores. The hunt brings great richness of colour and movement to the stark, leafless winter landscape. Bobins II, 763; Dixon 121; Schwerdt I, pp.179-80; Siltzer p.65.



Oblong folio (397 x 555mm). 6 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, by J. Harris after Alken, heightened with gum arabic (very light marginal spotting). Red half calf over maroon cloth, burgundy label to upper cover ruled and lettered in gilt, leaves on guards (extremities rubbed and worn, lower and outer edge of covers sunned). Provenance: Dr. Horst Stützer (bookplate).
