In January of 1901, S K Broadbent & Co published an announcement that the manuscript of a new book by A W Moore had been received and would be published later that year. It was to contain the biographies of over 200 distinguished Manx people. The book was 'Manx Worthies' and duly appeared on Tuesday 27th August 1901. We dip into the Isle of Man Examiner and Mona's Herald reports of early September celebrating the publication.
\n\nOur story in Manx is about an artist's imperative to paint - even though the end of the world is nigh.
