NEW YORK – With its roots in the Victorian era and the fantastical writings of authors H.G. Welles and Jules Verne, the steampunk style marries art, science, technology and design.

Transcending its beginnings, the steampunk aesthetic has a growing cult following that appreciates it in all its forms: jewelry, fashion, artworks and functional or decorative items.
