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.
