[ALKEN, Henry]. Some will, and Some will not. London: S. and J. Fuller, 1821.
Oblong 2° (265 x 358mm). Descriptive letterpress title, 4 leaves of text, 7 hand-coloured etched plates, tissue guards. (Title a little soiled, text spotted.) Blue morocco c.1900 by Donnelley, Chicago, covers gilt ruled, black morocco title labels on front cover and along spine, turn-ins gilt ruled (light rubbing); blue cloth slipcase. Provenance: Sotheby’s London, 15 June 1931, part lot 103.
BEN TALLY-HO’S IRONIC ADVICE IS SEEN IN ACTION: the one way to stop a horse is to ride against another huntsman; a ‘roman-nosed’ horse can be a help in going through if not over a gate; the hind-quarters can kick a stone wall down. This companion piece to Some do, and Some do not (lot 106) is in 'Alken’s best style' (Schwerdt). Dixon 37; Mellon/Snelgrove 15; Schwerdt I, p.22; Siltzer p.70; Tooley 34 (as Hunting Sketches).
