Henry Alken - Etching from Symptoms of being amused 1822. Original hand coloured soft ground etching from Symptoms Of Being Amused by Henry Aklen, published by Thomas McLean, London 1822. Henry Alken was born in London in 1784 into a family which became celebrated for its sporting artists and engravers. He is said to have worked as a trainer for the Duke of Beaufort, before studying under T. Barker Beaumont, He moved to Melton Mowbray in 1810 to train horses and eke out a living in decorating trays with hunting scenes. His success really began when he issued prints under the name of Ben Tally Ho in 1813 and was at his most prolific in the 1820s and 1830s. Alken's prints and illustrations are lively and very colourful and are closer to the 18th Century caricatures than to the 18th century sporting prints.
