ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)
[Untitled fox-hunting series, comprising a set of four plates with watercolour drawing copies. London: T. M'Lean, 1 January 1835.]
Finely coloured set of plates with accompanying watercolour copies. The Mellon Collection holds three preparatory pencil drawings by Alken from this suite. A close comparison with these and the drawings present here show a number of differences that indicate that the present drawings are copies of the plates. Bobins V, 1626; Mellon/Snelgrove p.18; Siltzer p.62.
Oblong folio (374 x 505mm). Comprising 4 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, by R.G. Reeve after Alken: 'Drawing a Cover,' 'Getting Away,' 'The Full Cry,' and 'The Death,' complete with corresponding watercolour drawing copies of the plates, all mounted with visible sheet area approx. 291 x 380mm, with the addition of modern letterpress title (some colour fading to watercolours, light marginal staining and soiling). Modern red half morocco, spine gilt lettered, gilt cover label (a few light marks on front cover).
