This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born and raised in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Charles Spooner became a painter of landscapes, especially views of Pennsylvania, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Apparently he traveled in Central America in the early 1860s, but documentation of his travels beyond his paintings have not been found.
He was a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and the Philadelphia Art Club.
