"Fores's Hunting Accomplishments" is a series of aquatint engravings by the English painter and engraver Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851), which vividly depict various scenes of hunting life in the early 19th century. Published by the London print shop Fores, known for sporting and satirical prints, this collection showcases Alken's skill in capturing the energy and drama of the hunt, a popular pastime among the British gentry of the period.

Alken was renowned for his portrayal of sporting events, and "Fores's Hunting Accomplishments" stands out as a significant work in his oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic talent and his intimate knowledge of hunting. The series includes a number of individual prints, each illustrating different aspects of the hunt, from the thrill of the chase to the perils and mishaps that could befall both riders and hounds. Alken's attention to detail and his ability to convey movement and excitement make these prints valuable records of the sporting life of his era.

The prints are characterized by their dynamic composition and the use of aquatint, a printmaking technique that allowed for a rich gradation of tones and a painterly quality, which was well-suited to the depiction of outdoor scenes and lively action. Alken's work was highly regarded by his contemporaries and continues to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of sporting art.

"Fores's Hunting Accomplishments" not only exemplifies Alken's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the social and cultural practices of hunting in the 19th century. The series is an important contribution to the genre of British sporting art and remains a testament to Henry Thomas Alken's legacy as one of the foremost sporting artists of his time.
