Description: | William Wyld's watercolour shows the harbour fortifications of the port of Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. The city was ruled by France after their defeat of the previous Turkish rulers in 1830. William Wyld published some of his views of Algiers as lithographs in 1833. Prints of distant lands were very popular at this time. William Wyld lived mostly in France, but also exhibited his watercolours in London. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists watercolours art buildings other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
