Born at Ipswich,
Suffolk in 1810, Samuel Alken was the son of Henry Thomas Alken and his wife Maria or
Marianée Gordon (1786-1841). He studied under his father and worked in
Ipswich, but the family returned to London where
he worked as an artist and specialized in painting animals; he executed
many of the horses depicted in George Sala's 60 foot long panorama of
the funeral procession of the Duke of Wellington in (showing 500 of 1090 characters). |
