ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)

Epsom Races the Derby Day [cover title: Going to Epsom Races]. London, S. & J. Fuller, [1819].

The Cortlandt Bishop copy, described in his 1938 catalogue as 'exceedingly rare in the original cloth covers'. Second issue with aquatint and a greater number of background figures and horse carriages than the first. According to the publisher's own description, this is ‘A panoramic view, fifteen feet in length, comprising the road, with its diversified and amusing incidents, consisting of costume, character, modern equipage, and London conveyance … picturesquely grouped, with swell horsemen, and less ambitious pedestrians, all moving gaily together … towards the grand scene of sport – the Downs – with the exciting and all absorbing race …’ In this example, a Fores label has been placed over the original imprint of S. and J. Fuller. Abbey Life 472; Bobins IV, 1295; Mellon/Snelgrove, p.23; Siltzer, p.58.



Aquatint strip panorama coloured by a contemporary hand, in eight joined sections (60 x 4572mm overall). (Split with two loose sections.) Bound in publisher’s original green cloth, pink slip with title and description pasted onto inside front cover, and another pink slip advertising games by S. and J. Fuller mounted on the back, outer front cover with racing vignette and title ‘Going to Epsom Races’ stamped in gilt (lacking original cloth slipcase); green and black morocco pull-off case by the Lakeside Press, Chicago.

Bishop, (purchased in his sale 15 January 1938, lot 69) — Joel Spitz (bookplate loosely inserted, stamp on verso at beginning of panorama; sold in sold in these rooms, 27 May 2015, lot 145).
