HistorySamuel Alken entered the Royal Academy Schools, London, as a sculptor in 1772. He published A New Book of Ornaments Designed and Etched by Samuel Alken in 1779, and later established himself as one of the most competent engravers in the new technique of aquatint. His works included plates after George Morland, Richard Wilson, Thomas Rowlandson and Francis Wheatley.[2] His plates for Sixteen views of the lakes in Cumberland and Westmorland after drawings John Emes and John Smith [3][4] were published in 1796,[2] and a set of aquatint views of North Wales after drawings by the Rev. Brian Broughton[5] in 1798.[2] RelativesThe Alken family claims several well-known artists.[6] There are some sporting paintings signed S. Alken, but they may be the work of his eldest son, Samuel.
