The son of Henry Thomas Alken Snr (1785-1851) and Maria Gordon, Henry Gordon Samuel Alken was referred to as Samuel Henry Alken to distinguish himself from his father, a painter of equestrian and sporting paintings with whom he studied.
The grandson of Samuel Alken (1756-1815) his namesake was to become a highly accomplished painter in the family tradition of sporting subjects. He was born in Ipswich but with his family returned to London studying with his father as an etcher and painter in watercolours and oils.
In 1851 he was living in the Strand in London and the following year worked, with George Sala, on producing an immense aquatint portraying the funeral procession of the Duke of Wellington on twenty-eight sheets measuring 13.5 x 2072 cm published in 1853. In 1861 Alken lived in Covent Garden, an area home to a number of artists and artists colourmen, with Ja...ne from Romford, although unmarried.
