    Please can anyone give me some guidance on these hunting prints?. I’ve googled and can’t find either as yet.
    They look hand coloured but I’m usually wrong about my guesses!.
    Nothing on the back of the frame
    apart from labels 2291 and 2292
    Any info very welcome.
    Thanks as always :)

    A search for 'Henry Alken fox hunting' will get you going.

    And going, and going.... There were several Alkens of note in the fox hunting world. Henry, Henry Thomas, Henry, Jr., (I think), and Samuel Henry. HT was a characaturist, one of them can't draw appendages (feet, hands, paws & hooves), and many sellers mix them arbitrarily.

    Thanks Bronwen, I must go to the opticians! I read that as H Allen too- maybe why my search was fruitless. I’ll have another Google.

    Here’s a bit about the publisher

    Also known as
    McLean, Thomas; McLean & Co

    Address
    26 Haymarket, London (1820s-1860s) 70 St. Martins Lane, London (lithographic printing workshop, 1840s-50s)

    Biography
    Print publisher, of a wide range of genres. Prints published in 1822 are lettered 'Repository of Wit & Humour', 26 Haymarket, London; but according to Dorothy George, all prints dated before 1824 are reissues of 1824 or later.

    Also, and this may be dreaming...I think Mr. Alken (the extremities one) occasionally hired a ghost painter to do his horses' hooves. :)

    So far I've tracked down the plates which are at the Yale Centre for British Art.
    It's by Henry Thomas Alken 1784-1851
