An old painting has helped the Manx National Heritage learn more about the history of the Laxey Wheel.
The picture went on sale at a London auction house last month, and closer inspection revealed it showed a different wheel that came before the Lady Isabella.
Curator of Art and Social History Matthew Richardson says the original wheel was previously only known as a silhouette in the distance in another painting.
The artwork, which dates from around 1840, will now become part of Manx National Heritage’s art collection.
