Charles Wild (1781- 1835), an accomplished water colourist, made his mark, exhibiting 165 architectural subjects between 1809 and 1833. These comprised internal and external views of the great English cathedrals and, after 1821, the churches, first of northern France and subsequently of Belgium and of Germany. [They] combine a close attention to architectural detail with an attractive picturesque treatment. Beginning with Twelve Perspective Views of the Exterior and Interior Parts of Canterbury, in 1807, he produced a series of aquatints sometimes coloured of English cathedrals, which were praised for their accuracy. The Canterbury series was followed by York in 1809, Chester in 1813, Lichfield in 1813, Lincoln in 1819, and Worcester in 1823 (ODNB).
