About This Item
1903 HUNTING Alken ART Sports Great Britain Horses Dogs Boxing LIMITED EDITION
Henry Thomas Alken was a prolific 19th-century English artist known for his caricature paintings of sporting and hunting scenes. Many of Alken's famous illustrations were published in a collection entitled 'National Sports of Great Britain'. This work is filled with color engravings of Alken's art – fox hunting, horse riding, hunting dogs, and many others.
This 1903 edition was published in New York; however, it was limited to 50 copies – an extremely limited print run and a very rare edition indeed!
