Description

This is one of a group of watercolours and drawings produced by Robert Elwes recording scenes witnessed on his world tour (1848-1850). These form the basis of printed illustrations for his travelogue 'A Sketcher's Tour Round the World', published 1854. "The houses in Aden are usually thatched with rushes. We rode round the town, at the lower end of which h is a high Moorish tower, old, quaint and picturesque.”
