About the Item

Samuel Alken Delineations of British Field Sports Lithograph series 25 x 42 cm Samuel Alken Jr. (1784–1825) was a British artist and engraver, part of the prominent Alken family of painters and engravers, known for their sporting and hunting scenes. He was the son of Samuel Alken Sr. and contributed significantly to the family's artistic legacy. Like his father, Alken Jr. worked primarily in engraving and painting, specialising in aquatint and other printmaking techniques. In-keeping with family tradition, Alken Jr. often depicted sporting subjects such as horse racing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits in his engravings and paintings. As such, his works have been praised for their dynamic composition and attention to detail. This lithograph series originally featured in 'Delineations of British Field Sports - Together with the various methods of painting. A series published by Alken's in 1822, the coloured issue ranks as one of the rarest sporting books of the period. There is only one record of a second coloured copy, which is 'untraceable' according to Schwerdt. Schwerdt also notes that the vigorous style of these plates made them eminently suitable for framing, and accounts in part for their rarity; 'twenty years' search has not enabled us to make up a complete set'. This extensive series comprises (as pictured): Death of the Fox Gamekeepers shooting a buck Race Horses in Training Poachers Netting Partridges Coursing the Hare Drawing the Badger Death of the Hare Pheasant Poaching Stag Hunting Coursing scene.
