From King Orry to Queen Victoria. A short and concise history of the Isle of Man. [With plates
A short popular history of the Isle of Man written by Edward Callow and published in London by Elliot Stock in 1899 for general readers and visitors to the island. Plates mix pen-drawn heraldry — the three-legged triskelion shield with ribbon mottoes and a crowned helm — with soft grey halftones copied from older paintings and engravings of Peel Castle, square-rigged men-of-war in action, and ships anchored in Ramsey Bay, all under small engraved caption lines.
