About the Author

John Hickman's interest in Charles and George Hunt, arose because Charles was his ancestor, but also because, 40 years ago, when he started his collection, he could furnish the bare walls of his first flat with their prints. Later, Alfred Gates of Ackermann's, the print dealers, suggested that he should research and compile this reference work on the Hunts. An introduction to British sporting art and print making by John Sabin, and a note on early-nineteenth caricatures by Kenneth Baker put the work of Charles and George Hunt in context.
