Celebrating the elegant and the strange, the visually arresting steampunk works collected here include sculpture, installations, graphics, bizarre oils, and mind-warping contraptions--from skull cameras to rocket-fueled diving bells UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1206/2011501780-b.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1206/2011501780-d.html ER -
