"After Henry Alken, Six Plates, 'The First Steeple Chase On Record', Handcoloured Engraving, 36cm X 42cm, Framed by John II Harris" is a notable collection of handcoloured engravings that captures a significant moment in the history of equestrian sports. These engravings are based on the works of Henry Thomas Alken, a prominent English painter and engraver known for his dynamic depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving horses.

Henry Alken (1785-1851) was a prolific artist whose works vividly illustrated the sporting life of early 19th-century England. His expertise in capturing the movement and excitement of equestrian events made him a celebrated figure in the genre of sporting art. The series "The First Steeple Chase On Record" is one of his most famous contributions, depicting what is considered to be one of the earliest recorded steeplechase races.

The engravings in this collection measure 36cm by 42cm and are handcoloured, a technique that adds vibrancy and detail to the scenes. Each plate in the series meticulously portrays different stages of the steeplechase, from the starting line to the thrilling jumps and the final dash to the finish. The attention to detail and the dynamic composition of the scenes reflect Alken's deep understanding of both the sport and the animals involved.

These particular engravings were framed by John II Harris, a noted figure in the framing and publishing industry during the 19th century. Harris's involvement adds an additional layer of historical significance to the collection, as his frames were known for their quality and craftsmanship.

"The First Steeple Chase On Record" not only serves as a visual document of an early steeplechase but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of the time. The series is highly valued by collectors and historians alike for its artistic merit and its depiction of a pivotal moment in the history of horse racing.
