About the Item

Henry Alken "Sporting Anecdotes - The Sporting Miller - Showing more 'the parts of a man' than 'the man of parts' - Half a Crown, you dont clear it!!!", plate 2, hand-colored engraving. The antique print titled 'Half a Crown, You Don't Clear It!!!' by H. Alken portrays a humorous or satirical scene related to a betting or gambling scenario involving horse racing. Henry Alken was renowned for his artistic depictions of sporting activities, particularly horse racing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits. The title suggests a situation involving a wager or a bet of "half a crown," which was a British coin denomination. This original antique print captures a comical moment during a sporting event, possibly illustrating individuals engaged in a bet, humorously reacting to the outcome, or expressing disbelief at the results. Alken's works often captured the lively and sometimes amusing aspects of sporting culture and leisure activities of his time. As with many of Alken's pieces, this print likely offers both entertainment and a glimpse into the social customs and pastimes prevalent during the period in which it was created.
