"Scrambling Over a Hedge" is one of the plates from the series 'The Right and The Wrong Sort' featured in "Fores Hunting Sketches," a collection of works by the prominent British painter and engraver Henry Thomas Alken, published in 1859. Alken, who specialized in sporting art, vividly depicted scenes of hunting life, capturing both the excitement and the follies associated with the sport. This particular plate humorously illustrates the challenges faced by huntsmen as they navigate the countryside, with a focus on a rider awkwardly attempting to clear a hedge.

The series 'The Right and The Wrong Sort' contrasts the skilled and unskilled participants in the hunt, often highlighting the social aspects of hunting culture in 19th-century Britain. Alken's work is characterized by its dynamic composition and attention to detail, which not only provides a visual narrative of the hunt but also serves as a social commentary on the era's sporting practices.

Henry Thomas Alken's contributions to the genre of sporting art were significant, and his works, including "Scrambling Over a Hedge," are considered important records of British rural life and sporting history. The 'Fores Hunting Sketches' remain a testament to Alken's skill in capturing the spirit of the hunt and the character of its participants, making them a valuable part of the artistic and cultural heritage of the period.
