Description
As a painter of landscapes, Weymouth resurrected the thwarted ambitions of his father John Thelwall (1764-1834), gaining success, respect and even a measure of fame. His watercolours were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and he even appeared at court, where he presented “drawings and sketches” of Norway to the Queen in 1873. He contributed notes to the Norwegian Tourist Club, giving details of an intrepid trek across a glacial valley in extremely harsh weather.
