1 8 ANIMAL PAINTERS 



the Sporting Magazine for 1827 under the " Portrait 

 of a Fox Hunter and his Hounds," engraved by 

 J. R. Scott ; but from that date onward to the year 

 1847, this publication does not contain a single plate 

 from his works. It is possible that the artist had 

 some misunderstanding with the editor or publisher, 

 for during the intervening one and twenty years he 

 was frequently represented in the Sporting Review, 

 Sportsman, and New Sporting Magazine, which 

 last was started to rival the Sporting Magazine. 



The eleven volumes of the Sporting Review 

 published between 1839 and 1844 contain many 

 pictures of fox hunting, stag hunting, coursing, 

 deer stalking and road subjects, engraved by E. 

 Hacker, John Scott, and J. H. Engleheart, from 

 Henry Aiken's paintings. In the Nciv Sporting 

 Magazine, vols. ix. to xxix., between the years 1835 

 and 1845, we find fifteen plates from his works; 

 one of these is an engraving by E. Radclyffe in 

 vol. xxii. from a very clever picture of " Horse 

 Racing in Florence," executed to illustrate an 

 article. The Sportsman, volumes xvii. to xix., for 

 the years 1842 and 1843, contained nine engrav- 

 ings from his pictures ; six of these from a series 

 whose titles suggest their character. 



Plate i.— Going to covert to meet the Difficulty. (2) Get- 

 ting into a Difficulty. (3) Got into a Difficulty. (4) Getting
