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'.
