Martian Botanical Preservation Steampunk Device

Alex

Found at the Art of AlexCF blog: a fantastic Martian Botanical Device steampunk, a state-of-the-art "botanical preservation device that contains the exact mixture of chemicals present in the martian atmosphere", so Victorian-era (space) explorers can keep alive specimens of carnivorous plants from the Red Planet.

The little dude's called "Chompy," though I felt that Audrey II would be a good name too! Link - via Brass Goggles

Harkens back to the day when young women of "breeding" had nothing to occupy their minds and so resorted to mischief like this. Eventually she'd end up becoming a morphine addict or drunk conducting seances to the amusement of her female peers before dying of cirrhosis or TB. Tsk, tsk.

I liked it even though it was mean spirited. The trouble is that girl was far to clever and creative for her time. Today a girl like that would grow up to be an actress, a film maker or a writer.
