William Henry Pyne was an English writer, illustrator and painter.
He trained at a drawing academy in London and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790. He specialized in picturesque settings including groups of people rendered in pen, ink and watercolour. Pyne was one of the founders of Royal Watercolour Society in 1804.
This is a set of 5 Hunting plates, all published August 1st 1806 by Pyne & Nattes. They are possibly 1st editions and are in very good condition. There is one plate with a yellow mark but otherwise these etchings are clean and intact and beautifully detailed, even though some scenes may appear a bit gruesome. An excellent account of hunting life in days gone by.
