Image description

The King's Gallery. The 'anemoscope' or wind-dial made for King William is painted with figurative scenes, probably by Robert Robinson, depicting the four Continents (Australia was not discovered until the 18th century). In the centre is a circular map of North West Europe, ringed by compass points. The pointer is connected by chains and pulleys to a wind vane on the roof.
