A set of eight studies of hunting scenes, including four designs for 'Fores’s Sporting Scraps', with 'Hunting', a set of four engravings on one sheet by J. Harris after the drawings, held together in a box; and an album of approximately 29 drawings of sporting subjects by Henry Alken Sen., with four other drawings by Samuel Alken, two by George Alken, and one by Henry Alken Jnr.

When sold in 1939, these fox-hunting sketches were originally mounted in a morocco-bound volume containing 20 drawings by Alken. They correspond to nos. 13-20 in the Schwerdt catalogue and are described there as being ‘the original drawings for eight out of a set of twelve prints.’ While they are undoubtedly a set, it is not clear from the bibliographies if all were actually published by Fores in the Sporting Scraps series.
