About the Item

Handcolored aquatint made after Henry Alken by J. Clark. Published by T. McLean, London, 1820. This is a hand-colored aquatint, an intricate printmaking technique, created after the work of Henry Alken by J. Clark and published by T. McLean in London in 1820. Here's a breakdown of the details: - **Aquatint:** Aquatint is an intaglio printmaking technique capable of producing areas of tone rather than lines. It involves treating a metal plate with acid-resistant resin, then etching the plate to create tonal areas when inked and printed. - **Henry Alken:** Henry Alken was a renowned British artist known for his sporting and equestrian-themed artworks. His works often depicted scenes related to hunting, horse racing, and other sporting events. - **J. Clark:** J. Clark likely refers to the engraver or artist who reproduced Alken's work using the aquatint technique. This individual would have created the print, possibly replicating Alken's original artwork. - **Publisher - T. McLean:** T. McLean, a London-based publisher, was responsible for printing and distributing this particular aquatint in 1820. McLean was known for producing high-quality prints and artworks during that era. Given the connection to Henry Alken's work, his hand-colored aquatints often depict scenes related to sports, hunting, or equestrian activities, capturing the essence of Alken's style and subject matter. As an antique print, it represents both artistic skill and historical documentation of the sporting and cultural interests of the early 19th century.
