PANORAMA -- [ALKEN, Henry (1784-1851).] A Trip to Melton Mowbray from drawings by J.D.Paul Esq. London: published for the Proprietor by S. and J. Fuller, 1822.
Hand-coloured aquatint panorama of a day out from London, going hunting in Melton Mowbray, comprising 14 numbered scenes on 14 joined sections overall 9 x 660cm, each scene captioned below. (A few small repaired tears to margins, slightly finger soiled at beginning, light browning at section joins due to old gum.) Mounted in its original boxwood roller with hand-coloured varnished label (varnish chipped). Provenance: C.F.G.R. Schwerdt (his sale, 19 June 1939, lot 527).
THE SCHWERDT COPY OF A FINE SPORTING PANORAMA, attributed by Schwerdt to the great sporting artist Henry Alken although Abbey's catalogue points out that Sir J.D. Paul, a well-known banker, illustrated various other books on fox-hunting. This, like many other panoramas, was issued in a number of forms, the Abbey example being in book form with each scene mounted on thick card. This example, in roller form, would have been the ideal gentleman's gift to be produced for amusement in the coffee house. Schwerdt III p.3; Abbey Life 488.
