John Caspar Wild (1804-August 12 1846) was an American painter and lithographer.
Wild was born in Switzerland and arrived in the U.S. in the 1830s.
He created early city views and landscapes of Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Iowa. He specialized in hand-colored lithographs. These views, particularly the Valley of the Mississippi Illustrated were some of the first depictions of the American West.
