The Revd. Joseph Wilkinson, 1764 – 1831
Born in Carlisle, Wilkinson was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Following his graduation in 1794, he became a Fellow of the College and was appointed a Minor Canon of Carlisle, living at Ormathwaite near Keswick. In 1803, he was appointed Rector of Wrotham in Norfolk and lived in Norfolk until his death in 1831.
Wilkinson was a prolific and accomplished artist and watercolourist who possibly exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1783. Examples of his paintings can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Abbot Hall Gallery in Kendal, Carlisle Art Gallery (Tullie House) and in Carlisle Library.
Engravings from his delicate sketches of the Lake District were included in Ackermann’s Select Views of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire which was published in 1810 (2nd edition 1824) with an unattributed introduction by William Wordsworth. This introduction was later expanded into Wordsworth’s own Guide to the Lakes.
The engravings are attractively framed in wooden frames with gilt inner borders. The overall size of each frame is 19 inches by 16 inches. Although the engravings date from 1810, the mounts and frames are modern.
The eight framed engravings available, which are mostly of the Borrowdale and Newlands Valleys in the northern lakes are illustrated below.
