ALKEN, Henry. Panorama of a Fox Hunt. London: R. Ackermann, 1 January 1828.
Oblong 8° (137 x 212mm). A hand-coloured, etched continuous strip panorama (97 x 2226mm). (Some light rubbing along folds.) Folding into original cloth-backed patterned boards, engraved title pasted on inner front cover, hand-coloured scene of the death with short title 'H. Alken's Panoramic View of a Fox Hunt’ laid down on outer front cover (blue ties renewed); red morocco slipcase, spine gilt lettered (lightly rubbed).
Provenance: Clarence S. Bement (bookplate) – Joseph Widener (morocco label; purchased from his sale, 28 November 1944).
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PANORAMA IN ORIGINAL BINDING. The full title reads: 'H. Alken's Panorama of a Fox Hunt shewing a large scope of the Leicestershire, Rutlandshire and Lincolnshire counties: with all sorts of riders, good, bad, and indifferent'. Although the death is shown on the cover, in the panorama itself the fox is running far ahead of the hounds. The huntsmen are widely stretched, many not managing to start, others crowded behind a farm gate, and some of those further ahead suffering from falls and spills. Mellon/Snelgrove 30 (example on a cylinder); Siltzer p. 61.
