Mrs. Edward Robson Whitwell

Mrs. Edward Robson Whitwell, also published as Mrs. E. R. Whitwell, was an early-20th-century travel writer and illustrator. The most clearly confirmed facts from available sources are her authorship of Through Bosnia and Herzegovina with a Paint Brush and the book's 1909 publication.

That book presents her journey through Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, and Montenegro as both a travel narrative and an artist's record. In its opening pages, she describes the work as growing out of personal reminiscences of a holiday, and the volume is paired with illustrations from her own brush, giving readers a visual sense of the places she visited.

The same book also identifies her as the author of Spain as We Found It and Through Corsica with a Paint Brush, suggesting a wider body of travel writing built around sketching and painting on the road. A project page connected with research on travel narratives names her as Mary Janet Whitwell, but because detailed biographical records are limited in the sources reviewed here, much of her life beyond the books themselves remains unclear.
