ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

Going to Epsom Races. A Ludicrous Amusement consisting of Modern Costume, Characters, Dandies, Equipages and Horsemanship. London: S. & J. Fuller, [1819].

First issue of the coloured state. The first issue is without aquatint and lacks many of the background figures and horse carriages introduced in the second issue, its greater simplicity being greatly appealing. Uncoloured versions of this issue were also available. The engraved title label pasted onto the bottom of the wood drum lists prices of '15s. col[oure]d. 10s. 6d plain'. Abbey Life 472; Bobins IV, 1294; Mellon/Snelgrove p.23; Siltzer p.58.



Continuous etched strip panorama coloured by a contemporary hand, in eight joined sections (60 x 4382mm. approximately). (Lacking a 190mm section at start.) On spool turning into publisher’s original wood drum, the drum with a glazed, hand-coloured racing print pasted on (the print damaged); brown morocco pull-off case by the Lakeside Press, Chicago. Provenance: Joel Spitz (bookplate inside upper cover of case, stamp on verso at beginning of panorama; sold in sold in these rooms, 27 May 2015, lot 144).
