Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin (British 1870-1935)
Cecil Aldin did his first set of hunting prints in 1899, The Fallowfield Hunt. This was a series of six sporting prints in which many of the backgrounds were pastiches of equine destinations that Mr. Aldin had known. He also did a series on inns that have become his best selling work to date. Aldin worked mostly in pastel or watercolor and produced a number of fine etchings in limited editions. His designs can also be seen on the popular Buffalo Deldare pottery. He was also an author, publishing many books, as well as illustrating them.
