Engraved Views of the Isle of Man

These pages will include images of many of the Victorian (and earlier) engraved views of the Island.
I have concentrated on the copper and steel engravings, ignoring many of the, often cruder, woodcuts used to bulk out the early guidebooks. Some of the early lithographs are also included.
All illustrations are from my own collection of prints, lithographs etc.
They are indexed by Subject and by Publisher
