ABOUT THE ARTIST

ROYAL MAIL COACH York - London
The son of Henry Thomas Alken Snr (1785-1851) and Maria Gordon, Henry Gordon Samuel Alken was referred to as Samuel Henry Alken to distinguish himself from his father, a painter of equestrian and sporting paintings with whom he studied.
The grandson of Samuel Alken (1756-1815) his namesake was to become a highly accomplished painter in the family tradition of sporting subjects. He was born in Ipswich but with his family returned to London studying with his father as an etcher and painter in watercolours and oils.

In 1861 Alken lived in Covent Garden, an area home to a number of artists and artists colourmen, with Jane from Romford, although unmarried. By 1871 Alken was living alone in Hammersmith moving to Shadwell in Essex in 1881.
Alken painted hunting scenes, racing subjects including the Derby on a number of occasions, equestrian portraits and coaching scenes, he was a highly successful artist with patrons across the country.
