British sporting art became widely popular in the early nineteenth century, and this popularity has continued until today. Prints of the British gentry, dressed in bright sporting costume in the field or at a social event, have been produced and enjoyed as much as any other kind of print subject. Cecil Aldin (1870-1935) was one of the most popular and successful of all British sporting artists. Aldin is best known for his large prints of hunts, coaching and races. Aldin's renown is based on his charming compositions, with bright coloring and top-flight production, exhibiting his delightful sense of humor in scenes with an evocative Dickensian setting.

Fallowfield Hunt: DeathSpacerFallowfield Hunt Supper


The Fallowfield Hunt. London, ca. 1900. 11 3/4 x 19. Chromolithographs. All in very good condition with the exception of "The Hunt Supper," which has an old repair/patch (puncture with tears) on verso.

Much of Aldin’s work consists of illustrations for sporting books and periodicals, but he is probably best known for his large chromolithographs of hunts, coaching and races. These began with his four famous series: The Fallowfield Hunt, The Bluemarket Races, Harefield Harriers, and The Cottesbrook Hunt, all issued around the turn of the century.
