A Pair of late 19th c Hunting Engravings

This is an attractive pair of late 19th c coloured engravings of hunting scenes after H Alken in ebonised frames. Published by S.B Fuller Gallery of Fine Arts, 61 Pall Mall, LONDON.

Inscription on one engraving reads:

'ONE OF THE RIGHT SORT' Who hunts because he likes it. "Confound this snow I shall never get a light; but the worst of it is it will put a stop to hunting for a few days at least".

Inscription on the other engraving reads:

'ONE OF THE WRONG SORT' who goes out with hunters because it is the fashion. "Confound the snow is not hunting bad enough without this; but there's one comfort we shall not be able to go out again for some time".
