***About Steampunk

***: Steampunk is an artistic and cultural movement that melds the Victorian era’s aesthetic sensibilities with futuristic technological concepts, often inspired by steam-powered machinery. Its origins trace back to the literary works of the 1980s but draw heavily on the 19th-century scientific romances of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Steampunk art, such as this one, extends beyond literature, influencing fashion, film, and visual art. The genre is noted for its emphasis on brass, copper, glass, and mechanical gears, crafted to conjure a sense of Romantic nostalgia meets imaginative futurism.
