    Escape to the English countryside of the 19th century with this superb engraving by Henry Alken, undisputed master of the British equestrian scene. Entitled "Buck-ing a Flight of Rails", this spirited composition highlights one of the most perilous challenges of hunting with hounds: crossing a long wooden fence in full flight.
    This work is part of the famous "Sporting Difficulties" series, which brilliantly illustrates the equestrian misadventures of English horsemen.

    Commentary
    Henry Alken's lively, humorous style is as much narrative as it is decorative. An ideal engraving for lovers of hunting scenes, horses, or English-inspired decoration.
