"Full Cry" hand coloured aquatint after Henry Alken by Thomas Sutherland
Henry Thomas Alken (12 October 1785 – 7 April 1851) was an English painter and engraver chiefly known as a caricaturist and illustrator of sporting subjects and coaching scenes. His most prolific period of painting and drawing occurred between 1816 and 1831.
Thomas Sutherland (1785-1838) was a renowned engraver and aquatinter.
'Full Cry' was first published in 1824; with the last reproduction published in 1927. Also displayed at The British Museum (museum no. 1927,0609.8).
This etching with aquatint details a foxhunt in action in the British countryside. A Full Cry is a hunting term for when the dogs have found the trail of the foxes, and begin to bark.
This old painting has been professionally re-framed in keeping with its original wooden frame. It doesn't sit flat due to age - the framer said that the painting has been stuck to the mount so she didn't want to change that in case it damaged the artwork. A wonderful piece of art with glorious colours.
