WILD, Charles.
Twelve Perspective Views of the exterior and interior Parts of the Metropolitan Church of Canterbury.
This is Wild s second collection of cathedral views, the first being a collection of views of Canterbury. Charles Wild (1781-1835), an accomplished watercolourist, 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.
