About the Item

This fantastic collection of 1901 chromolithographic prints are the work of equestrian and sporting artist Cecil Aldin (1870-1935). The prints collectively comprising an extremely attractive and desirable collage; to include, Breakfast at the Three Pigeons, Breaking Cover and the Death. The center print is called “Hunt Supper” which is one of Aldin’s more famous works. It shows a merry company of jolly hunters in the aftermath of a most pleasurable dinner. Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin was born in Slough, England in 1870 and was successful in his own time as an illustrator of books and magazines, a painter, and a writer. His sporting art featured one of his lifelong passions, hunting. He became famous for his watercolors and prints showing foxhunting scenes in the English countryside, as well as his ability to portray the dogs, horses, and animals that were the protagonists of these scenes. Aldin's art has become increasingly popular with time and he is appreciated today for his special talent in sketching and painting dogs. In a funny pose, the tilt of a head or a cocked ear, Aldin captured the individual character of the many dogs and breeds he worked with. His art shows the camaraderie he felt with his canine friends and models, though his work is never overly cute or sweet. Aldin's talents were greatly appreciated by his contemporaries. As a result, there is a wide range of collectibles available today that bear his famous dog images. Between 1934 and 1985, Royal Doulton produced the "Dogs of Character" series of fine bone china figurines based on Cecil Aldin illustrations. Royal Doulton also produced the "Aldin's Dogs" series of decorative plates and small trays for approximately twenty years beginning in the mid 1920s. Limited and first edition prints by Cecil Aldin have become extremely collectible. The rarity of these prints will only increase, as the metal printing plates originally used to produce the prints were destroyed in World War II. Accordingly, no new editions of Aldin's prints pulled from these original plates can ever be issued.
