Automatons

I can't really get into the steampunk thing, which is curious with how much I love the technology from that era. Or maybe that's why. Why bother with imagings when the real thing is so cool. As I seem to have a number of pictures and related material of Victorian and Edwardian/WWI technology, I thought I'd share a bit.

To start with, some chocolate-dispensing automatons. This leaflet (showing both sides at once) dates from c. 1890.
