Robert Elwes (painter)
Robert Elwes (1819 - 1878) was a British Victorian traveller, painter and the author of ''A Sketcher's Tour Round the World'' illustrated by engravings from his own works which he published from his home at Congham, Norfolk in 1853.
== Family background ==
Elwes was the second son of Henry Elwes of Colesbourne in Gloucestershire. His mother, Susan Hamond of Westacre, Norfolk brought as her dowry the estate of Congham, eight miles from King's Lynn. It was here that Robert Elwes and his wife settled, building Congham House in the late 1850s. Today only one wing remains following the disastrous fire of November 1939. The fire has meant the loss of much valuable material relating to the Elwes family, but the surviving work of Robert Elwes, paintings and journals provide an insight into the life of this Victorian country gentleman, exceptional not only for the extent of his travels, but also for the meticulousness of his artistic and literary records.
