EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time when the Great Wheel at Laxey stood tall and proud. The intricate details of this print, now part of a private collection, allow us to marvel at the engineering prowess and grandeur of this iconic structure. The Great Wheel at Laxey was an impressive feat of Victorian engineering located on the Isle of Man. This image is a digitally cleaned version from an illustration featured in "Our Own Country" published by Cassell around 1870. It showcases the wheel's immense size and intricate design with remarkable clarity. Standing against a backdrop of lush greenery, the Great Wheel dominates the landscape with its towering presence. Its massive wooden spokes reach towards the sky while its iron framework stands strong and sturdy. The engraving beautifully captures every detail - from each individual spoke to the ornate decorations adorning its circumference. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine what it must have been like to witness this magnificent structure in person during its heyday. The Great Wheel at Laxey undoubtedly served as both a source of awe-inspiring wonderment for visitors and an important symbol of progress during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to experience this historical masterpiece today. This enchanting engraving serves as a reminder not only of our rich industrial heritage but also our ability as humans to create extraordinary wonders that stand the test of time.
