Лот 57 | ALKEN, [Samuel] (1810-1894)
ALKEN, [Samuel] (1810-1894)

[Epsom Race Course.] London: Ackermann, 1854.

Extremely rare panorama of England's busiest race course. The date is printed somewhat unclearly in regard to the third digit. Siltzer and Dixon both date the work 1834. Abbey more correctly dates it 1854, three years after Henry Alken senior's death. We have only been able to trace two copies selling at auction: the Gloucester copy in 2006, and the present copy in the Le Vivier library sale in 2012. Abbey Life 600; Bobins IV, 1301; Dixon 99; Siltzer p.62.



Lithographic panorama coloured by a contemporary hand, of racing at Epsom Downs on four joined sheets, signed 'H. Alken lith.' (210 x 2210mm overall), with free edge trimmed in contemporary green cloth, together with the original ?title with plan of the course pasted onto matching contemporary green cloth (panorama with some closed tears and two unrepaired tears into image, the longer tear 70mm., some spotting, worn at bottom margin, vertical creases to all sheets where joined; title plan lightly spotted and browned). On boxwood spindle, in cylindrical calf case by Sangorski and Sutcliffe titled and dated 1834 in gilt. Provenance: Le Vivier Library (sale, Christie's South Kensington, 30 October 2012, lot 111).
