Charles Herbert Clark (born 1890) was a British printmaker and etcher celebrated for his detailed architectural depictions, particularly of churches and historic buildings. He studied at the Liverpool School of Art and later at the Royal Academy Schools in London, honing a style that emphasized precision and quiet elegance. Clark exhibited extensively, most notably showing works at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. He served in The Liverpool Scottish Regiment, and much of his artistic output emerged during the interwar years. His etchings often featured urban landscapes and notable structures, reflecting a deep appreciation for historical architecture and craftsmanship.
