Set of eight framed fox hunting prints taken from Cecil Aldins book 'A Sporting Garland'. The antique prints are in the original oak frames, backboards and with paper trade label for 'Harris & Sons, Plymouth', the label with frame No. 74834 and dated 6.4.04. Six of the frames are of the size shown, two are are slightly larger in height at 25½ cm. As with most of Aldin's pictures in this genre there are great touches of humour throughout.
