Alken’s Fores’s Sporting Scraps — 4 Racing Lithographs, Framed
A handsome set of four hand-colored lithographs from Fores’s Sporting Scraps, attributed to Henry Thomas Alken (British, 1785–1851), a renowned sporting artist of the 19th century. Published by Messrs. Fores of London, the series captures a full narrative of an English horse race—from mounting and parade to the dramatic finish.
Each print displays Alken’s signature flair for motion and detail, enhanced by period hand-coloring and sharp lithographic lines. The set is professionally matted in deep green and framed behind glass in a classic walnut frame with gilt edging—ready to display. A superb decorative and collectible piece for equestrian, sporting, or antique art enthusiasts.
