Find a Mug!

Lightbulbs and other mechanical imagined retro-futuristic items are among the symbols often found in the steampunk subgenre. This image consists of a repeat pattern of vintage lightbulb illustrations against a reddish-pink background with subtle newsprint ephemera against a melange of pink colors. Anatomical illustrations, steam imagery, Victorian dress, and cycles are some of the other images found in steampunk. What if we reimagined the future in the past, such as in the Victorian era? Steampunk blends technology and esthetic designs and is inspired by industrial steam-powered machinery from the 1800s. It's a tribute to a neo-Victorian vision of the future, which some consider retrofuturistic.
