An exhibition of watercolours by a Manx Victorian artist begins at the Manx Museum on Saturday.
Robert Evans Creer of Ramsey was born in 1838 and painted Manx landscapes.
More than 100 of his works – including a variety of rural and coastal scenes - were recently bequeathed to Manx National Heritage and these will be on show until January next year.
Exhibition curator Yvonne Cresswell says the watercolours provide a unique record of the Manx landscape (audio file attached):
