EDITORS COMMENTS
Laxey, the Wheel, Isle of Man, England: A Picturesque and Nostalgic Glance into the Past (ca. 1890-1900) This charming, coloured photograph print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, transporting us to the beautiful Isle of Man in England. The focal point of this image is Laxey Wheel, a historical landmark that has stood proudly since its construction in 1887. The Wheel, also known as Lady Isabella, is a water-powered rotating wheel that was built to pump water from the nearby quarry. At the time, it was the largest working water wheel in the world, standing at an impressive height of 72 feet and with a diameter of 22 feet. The Wheel's intricate design and engineering marvel captured the imagination of both locals and tourists, making it a must-see attraction during the Victorian era. This nostalgic photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the Wheel in all its glory. The scene is bathed in a warm, sunlit glow, casting long, inviting shadows and highlighting the rich, earthy tones of the landscape. The vibrant greens of the surrounding hills and trees contrast beautifully with the muted blues and grays of the water, creating a stunning visual harmony. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of nostalgia for a bygone era. The Wheel of Laxey stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of the Isle of Man and the wonders of the 19th century.
