Alken (Henry), After. Fishing in a Punt; Pike Fishing; Salmon Fishing, three works from 'The National Sports of Great Britain', etchings with aquatint by J. Clark, all with hand-colouring, each platemark approx. 270 x 370 mm (10 3/4 x 14 1/2 in), under glass, minor spotting and browning, uniformly framed, published by Thomas McLean, 1820 [but 1821] (3) Literature: Beazley, David, Images of Angling. Three Centuries of British Angling Prints, Creel Press, 2010, nos. 130-132 ⁂ A particularly fine impression of a rare and important group. "I have no evidence that Henry Alken was an angler, but then so little is known about him that who knows if he dabbled?... The punt fishing scene is one of my firm favourites amongst the whole historic range of angling prints. To my angler's eye, it has the most natural and convincing feeling about it." [Beazley, op. cit. p. 89]
