EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Pointers" by Henry Thomas Alken captures the essence of British sports and amusement. The image showcases two elegant pointers, their sleek bodies poised in anticipation, ready to embark on a thrilling pursuit. With England's picturesque countryside as the backdrop, these noble dogs embody the spirit of traditional English pursuits. Originally published in 1821 by Thomas McLean, this exceptional quality reprint from Methuen in 1903 allows us to appreciate Alken's intricate details and vibrant colors. The absence of any screen adds to the authenticity and charm of this artwork. The Pointers' presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when hounds were an integral part of English sporting culture. Their loyalty and agility made them indispensable companions during hunting expeditions across Great Britain's vast landscapes. While this print pays homage to British traditions, it also hints at Germany's influence on European sport. As northern Germany is known for its strong Germanic heritage, it is fascinating to see how different cultures intertwine within the realm of sportsmanship. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a dog lover, this enchanting print will transport you back in time and immerse you in both British and German cultural legacies. Displayed proudly within your home or office space, it serves as a reminder that history can be beautifully preserved through artistic masterpieces like "Pointers. "
