Set of 2 Henry Aiken Prints by S&J Fuller 1819 Framed

The two prints, "How to Appear at Cover" and "How to Ride Down Hill," are characteristic examples of the work of Henry Thomas Alken (17851851), a renowned English painter and engraver famous for his humorous and lively depictions of sporting subjects, particularly fox hunting.

These prints are part of Alken's larger body of work that often satirized the various predicaments, missteps, and sometimes comical incompetence of aristocratic sportsmen in the field. They are likely hand-colored etchings or aquatints, a popular medium for sporting prints in the early 19th century.
