ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

[Sporting Anecdotes. London: R. Ackermann, 1833-1837.]

A seldom encountered set of large humorous prints. The present copy, in addition to the sixteen plates, includes the original pencil drawing for plate 4 ‘Jorrock’s Hunt Breakfast’ and Alken’s watercolour sketch for plate 12 ‘The Sporting Bishop’, both mounted on blank leaves facing the relevant plate. The juxtaposition of the pencil drawing and plate 4 reveals that an additional figure was added to the final composition, with two men sitting at the end of the table as opposed to a single gentleman. Bobins IV, 1384; Siltzer, p.62 calls for 18 plates, but also some with different titles than cited in this copy.



Oblong folio (406 x 508mm). 16 etchings coloured by a contemporary hand, with Alken’s original pencil drawing for plate 4 and original watercolour for plate 12, interleaved; blank leaf annotated and signed in ink (restored marginal tear to plates 1, 2, 4, 9 and 13). Disbound and all loose in modern red quarter morocco and green cloth box.
