The Life and Travels of Elijah Walton
Born in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Elijah Walton was a painter and botanist who dedicated much of his life to the study of nature. After studying at the art academy in Birmingham, he became a student at the Royal Academy Schools in London at the age of eighteen. His career was marked by extensive travels; in 1860, he traveled to Switzerland, and later journeyed to Egypt, Syria, and Constantinople. He also visited Greece and Norway. His life was deeply connected to his art, and he worked in both oils and watercolours, finding particular success with the latter. He resided in Staines and later in the neighbourhood of Bromsgrove, living most of his time at the Forelands. He died at his residence, Beacon Farm, Lickey, near Bromsgrove in Worcestershire.
