Description
London: Rudolph Ackermann, 1850. One of the Rarest of all Henry Alken's Albums ALKEN, Henry. [Ackermann's Sporting Scraps]. London: Rudolph Ackermann, February 20th. 1850 - March 13th. 1861. First edition. Oblong quarto (8 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches; 214 x 273 mm.). Thirty-six superb hand colored aquatint plates, heightened with gum arabic, by J.Harris after H. Alken, W.J. Shayer, and W.A. Knell. Bound ca. 1900 by J. Larkins in full tan calf, covers with triple-gilt borders and corner fleurons. Spine with five raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt board edges and turn-ins, purple coated endpapers, all edges gilt. Neatly rebacked with original spine laid down. Small neat repair to lower edge of front cover. A few plates with light marginal foxing, Steeple Chase Scraps plate 2 a little foxed. A very good copy of an exceedingly rare book. Fine impressions of the Henry Alken plates. Twenty-eight out of the thirty-six being by him. It includes the best plates from Ackermann's famous publications... A fine collection of skillfully rendered sporting scenes, splendidly characteristic of the humor and unrivaled talent of Henry Alken (1785-1851) who drew twenty-eight of the thirty-six plates. These small format aquatints are quite scarce, especially with such fine hand-coloring, and are only mentioned very infrequently in the relevant literature. Excessively Rare. According to OCLC there is just one copy in libraries and institutions worldwide: The Huntington Library (CA, USA). The note from OCLC reads "Title from label on inside front cover./ Plates colored by hand./ The plates are mostly in groups of four and cover the following subjects: hunting, racing, coaching, coursing, shooting, steeple-chase, Indian sporting, fishing, deer stalking, stag-hunting, and yachting./ Four plates on coaching by W.J. Shayer; four on yachting by W.A. Knell; remainder by Alken./ Engraved by J. Harris." The plates: R. Ackermann's Hunting Scraps (dated March 13th. 1861) 1. Drawing Cover 2. Gone Away 3. Full Cry 4.

Description
London: J. M'Gowan, 1824. 247 pp. The book is bound in a later binding with leather spine and replaced end paper. The flyleaf is lacking right corner, and the hinges of the book are cracking. This includes two full page illustrations, and 4 other illustrations are printed in the text. Complete. This was one of the most sensational murder trials of the period. John Thurtell and friends killed Weare so Thurtell would not have to pay a gambling debt. Thurtell was hung for the crime and one of his Assocaites was sent to Australia. A scarce title.
