ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)
[A Steeple Chase. London: S. and J. Fuller, March 1832.]
The Spitz copy of Alken's bold attempt to convey speed and movement in a grand set of plates. The plates are not only larger than those issued under the same title in 1827 but also changed in composition. Whether the 1832 set originally had a printed title, like that of 1827, is unclear. Since some copies with the 1832 imprint are known to have later watermarks. it is hard to establish a firm date for this copy where no watermarks are evident. Bobins IV, 1383; Siltzer p.62; cf. Mellon/Snelgrove 67 (1827 set).
Oblong folio (355 x 510mm). 6 aquatint plates, coloured by a contempoary hand, by J.C. Bentley after Alken, interleaved (without letterpress title). Mid 20th-century brown half morocco and green cloth, upper cover with green morocco gilt title label, slipcase. Provenance: Joel Spitz (1888-1963; bookplate; purchased from Sotheby’s, London, 1947, sold in these rooms 27 May 2015, lot 149).
