Sporting prints by Cecil Aldin

British sporting art became widely popular in the early nineteenth century, and this popularity has continued until today. Prints of the British gentry, dressed in bright sporting costume in the field or at a social event, have been produced and enjoyed as much as any other kind of print subject. Cecil Aldin (1870-1935) was one of the most popular and successful of all British sporting artists. Aldin is best known for his large prints of hunts, coaching and races. Aldin's renown is based on his charming compositions, with bright coloring and top-flight production, exhibiting his delightful sense of humor in scenes with an evocative Dickensian setting.
