Artist
J. T. Wilson
J. T. Wilson is a British Romanticism artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
J. T. Wilson painted quiet scenes of 19th-century Hackney in watercolour. In *The White House, Hackney Marsh* (1869) and *The Flying Horse, Hackney* (1869), he captured pubs and riverside life along the Lea, using light brushstrokes to show a patch of London now vanished. All of these works were made for local patrons who wanted small, portable pictures of their neighborhood. Tap into *The King’s Head, Hackney* (c. 1830) to stand inside a 200-year-old pub before it was knocked down.
