ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

Ideas, Accidental and Incidental to Hunting, and other sports; caught in Leicestershire, &c. London: Thomas M'Lean, [1826-1830].

Extremely rare first edition, richly hand-coloured, the first issue; part of the stock was destroyed by fire and the plates to this work were re-issued in oblong folio. There was a further reprint made in 1900. Alken plays with the word 'Idea' to create various amusing scenes from the mishaps that occur when hunting. Bobins II, 760; Tooley 36.



Folio (358 x 268mm). Letterpress title and 42 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand and highlighted with gum arabic, one watermarked 1828, all marked ‘Hy. Alken del.t’ and with M'Lean imprint, original publishers paper price label on front pastedown '£4.10s half bound', 'R Akermann Regents Street' label below (light spotting to plate margins, small holes to margins of one plate with surface abrasions, just touching plate, very occasional marginal dust-soiling). Contemporary half green morocco over cloth, with red morocco gilt lettered title label on upper cover, spine gilt in compartments, gilt edges (extremities rubbed, covers a little scuffed).
