Summary
| Description |
English: We continue today on the magical, mystery tour of the Mason catalogue. An "Elaborate technical wheel, possibly hydro electric generator, figures ascending" a spiral staircase no less - shouldn't be too hard to identify...?
....And indeed many immediately recognised this as the Laxey Wheel on the Isle of Man. Built in the 1850s, it was designed to pump water from the Laxey mine - and is now something of a symbol of the island. Photographer: Thomas H. Mason Collection: Mason Photographic Collection Date: Circa 1890 - 1910 NLI Ref: M50/18 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie |
