ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

[Sporting Discoveries or The Miseries of Shooting in a series of seven plates, being hints to young sportsmen by Ben Tally-Ho]. London: S. and J. Fuller, 1 February 1816 [but watermarks dated 1817.]

'First issue of a well drawn and finely coloured set of plates representing shooting accidents, not easily met with in perfect state' (Schwerdt). The companion piece to Miseries of Hunting, it was originally issued in wrappers which bore the title. The plates have the same imprint and extensive captions explaining each pitiful situation, be it forgetting the powder for the gun, or discovering your lost dog has in fact killed one of the farmer's sheep. Seemingly not in either the British Library nor the British Museum Prints and Drawings Collection. Bobins III, 748; Schwerdt I, 23; Siltzer, p.57 (mistitled 'Shooting Discoveries'); Tooley 53.



Oblong folio (260 x 355mm). 7 hand-coloured engraved plates. Early 20th-century red morocco, gilt spine and edges (spine mistitled 'Shooting Discoveries', as per Siltzer, extremities faintly rubbed).
