Joseph Nash (17 December 1809 – 19 December 1878) was an English watercolour painter and lithographer, specializing in historical buildings. Later, he became well known for his picturesque views of late Gothic buildings, which he peopled with figures grouped to illustrate the everyday life of their owners in times gone by. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution and the New watercolour Society. Having mastered the art of lithography, Nash utilized it in the production of several excellent publications: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Architecture of the Middle Ages\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" appeared in 1838, and his four-volume masterpiece, “Mansions of England in the Olden Time\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" over a 10 year period from 1839, which involved Nash\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s travelling all over the country drawing house interiors and exteriors. He concentrated on the architectural aspects of the buildings, which, using the example of Joseph Strutt, he brought to life with the inclusion of groups of people. The volumes were very popular, with the lithographs circulated widely by newspapers, architects and other artists. The book was so effective it was claimed in Parliament that it was causing an increasing number of people to visit historical buildings. In 1846 he lithographed David Wilkie\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Oriental Sketches\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" and in 1848 a set of views of Windsor Castle from his own drawings.
