HENRY THOMAS ALKEN - Canvas Prints
Henry Thomas Alken was a British artist from Westminster. He was an accomplished illustrator, engraver, and caricaturist who published works under the moniker “Ben Tallyho” in his early career. Alken mostly illustrated sporting events and scenes, such as “Duck Baiting” and “Badger Baiting/Master George,” where dogs are depicted hunting for smaller animals. Alken was also an expert in equestrian sports which is why several of his illustrations feature activities like hunting, coaching, and racing. Some of his best-known works are “Coursing—Going Out,” “Racing—Doing Their Best,” and “Duck Shooting.”
