Знаменитый в своё время и крайне плодовитый французский автор Альбер Робида оставил после себя несколько книг и тысячи рисунков — в том числе множество иллюстраций к своей пародии на Жюля Верна под названием «XX век». Именно эти ироничные картинки в очень характерном стиле породили эстетику того, что теперь мы зовём стимпанком — только тогда это был не ретро-, а просто футуризм. Что более удивительно, в «XX веке», писавшемся в 1880-е... Read more ›
