Steampunk Postcard

Steampunk[30] is a retro-futuristic science fiction sub-genre and aesthetic movement that depicts an alternate universe of the Victorian era[15] or the American Wild West where steam power is the dominant source of energy. Steampunk is often associated with being optimistic and playful, albeit unrealistic. Objects made in this fashion can be either remakes of modern day items such as computers[41], or imagined structures including jetpacks.[42] The steampunk often incorporates the Victorian period clothing with various engineering inventions and enhancements made of wood and brass, and has a preference for industrialism.
