"Symptoms of a Scurry, The Leicestershires" is an evocative and dynamic engraving created by the renowned British artist Henry Alken (1785-1851) in 1825. This artwork was commissioned by John Dean Paul, a notable figure of the time, who was an avid sportsman and patron of the arts. Alken, celebrated for his vivid depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving horses and hunting, brings to life the thrilling and chaotic energy of a fox hunt in this piece.

The engraving captures a moment of intense activity and excitement, characteristic of Alken’s style, which often emphasized movement and the spirited nature of the subjects. The scene is set in the English countryside, likely in Leicestershire, a region famed for its hunting traditions. Riders, mounted on their horses, are depicted in mid-gallop, their expressions and postures conveying the urgency and exhilaration of the chase. The hounds, integral to the hunt, are shown in full stride, their bodies stretched out as they pursue their quarry with relentless determination.

Alken’s attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the horses and hounds, as well as the riders’ attire, which reflects the period’s fashion and the practical requirements of hunting. The landscape, though secondary to the action, is skillfully illustrated, providing a picturesque backdrop that enhances the overall composition.

"Symptoms of a Scurry, The Leicestershires" is not only a testament to Alken’s artistic prowess but also a valuable historical document that offers insight into the social and cultural practices of early 19th-century England.
