(24 June 1877 – 13 November 1965) was an English artist whose best known works are in etching and mezzotint, covering a wide range of subjects.

Hilda was an artist with an interest in etching, the daughter of civil engineer Frederick Blake Pemberton and his wife Lucy.

[2] In 1916, with the stalemate and massive casualties on the Western Front during World War I, conscription was introduced in Britain specifying that men aged 18 to 40 years were liable to be called up for military service.

The army had created the Non-Combatant Corps in order to find an acceptable place for conscientious objectors, but Wilson's commitment to pacifism was absolute and he refused to comply with the call-up notice.

When he refused to put on a uniform Wilson was court martialled and imprisoned from February 1917 to March 1919, first at Wormwood Scrubs and then at Dartmoor.

[2][6][A] In the late-1920s Wilson was commissioned to paint a four-panel frieze depicting prehistoric England, which was installed in the Geological section of the Natural History Museum in South Kensington.
