Mechanical Brides of the Uncanny

A nice series of Victoran steampunk robots by Edward Bateman. Available as a book or a set of cards. Both are limited editions, fabulously printed and therefore not cheap.

In “Mechanical Brides of the Uncanny,” artist Edward Bateman creates images that explore photography’s role as historical evidence. Presented as a collection of discovered carte de visites, this book documents a forgotten age of mechanical wonders.
