Peel, Isle of Man from the Beach
Date made: 28 September 1857
Artist: Staples, S.
Description: “At the edge of [the bay] lies Peel town like a little picture, relieving the stillness of the whole with its whitewashed houses, and its busy crowd of inhabitants, that bustle in front of it along the harbour, and through its narrow labyrinthine streets.” (William Bennet, Sketches of the Isle of Man, 1829, M 00896)
