Over the past year or so I started seeing all this stuff with inner works of clocks and such. I had never really taken notice that it was all labeled STEAMPUNK. When I did take notice I hadn't a clue what it meant. So feeling like an outsider wanting to get in and find out more about these rather interesting label and work I looked it up. I am now hooked on it, learning all I can and in the mean time finding wonderful works of art all over the internet. Steampunk is art all on it's own put it together with some creative hands and you have brilliance.
If you have information about this to help me better understand it please E-mail me at : Miraclekitty21@hotmail.com and please lable your e-mail STEAMPUNK.

Detail of an artificial left arm, Europe, 1850-1910
“Made from steel and brass, this unusual prosthetic arm articulates in a number of ways. The elbow joint can be moved by releasing a spring, whereas the top joint of the wrist allows a degree of rotation and an up-and-down motion. The fingers can also curl up and straighten out. The leather upper arm piece is used to fix the prosthesis to the remaining upper arm. The rather sinister appearance of the hand suggests the wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare.”
