Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin RBA 1870-1935 was a painter of animal, sporting scenes and topographical subjects, mostly in watercolours. He studied at The Royal College of Art and under Frank Calderon. He illustrated a number of books, including Kipling's Jungle Stories (1894-5) and worked for magazines. Large numbers of his works have been reproduced in print form.

This print, which we date to circa 1910-1920, due in part to the old label on the reverse of the frame, the old nails holding in the backing board, and the style of the original beech frame, is marked as shown Copyright Lawrence & Jellicoe Ltd, 34 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London WC. This company published many works by this artist.
