One of 43 clearly engraved maps all drawn by R.Creighton and engraved by T. Starling and J and C. Walker - IoM is map #23. Originally issued uncoloured - usually found with modern colouring, sometimes the sheading lines are picked out. The IoM map appears to have been unchanged through all editions. Based on the larger scale Smythe map of 1826, but added King William's College whose foundation stone was laid in 1830.
