He did some paintings, particularly some large scale yachting scenes in the Solent some of which were engraved by Dolby, Harris and others. His work is in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the British Museum, the City of Portsmouth Museum, Cartwright Hall (Bradford), Howarth Museum and Gallery (Accrington), Newport Art Gallery, the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum (Birkenhead), the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, and the Muscarelle Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his travels, Robins also made some pencil drawings and watercolour sketches of people in local dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobins travelled extensively on the Continent, visiting France in 1842, Holland and Italy in 1845, the Mediterranean c.1850, Holland and the Rhine in 1857, France in 1858, and Antwerp in 1859.
