Sir Henry Alken,(British, 1785-1851) was a leading British sporting artist, exploring the comic side of riding in this series of prints depicting the follies and foibles of aristocrats on their weekend outings. They were part of a larger movement of caricature prints lampooning British society that were published in England in the first half of the 19th Century. Henry Thomas Alken was a painter and engraver. He worked in London and the provinces and was prolific in a variety of media, including painting, etching and watercolor. Trained as a miniature painter, his works always had a graphic precision. He is known for hunting, coaching, racing and other animal subjects. He was also employed by sporting periodicals as an illustrator and provided plates for the National Sports of Great Britain (London, 1821), "strengthening the market for his work in sporting circles, in particular the notorious clique of wealthy and reckless huntsmen who gathered at Melton.
