Today’s feature is for mad scientists and other future overlords of a more intellectual persuasion who do not have the funds to get started on their own.

From the beautiful country of Italy comes this most remarkable Steampunk artifact, a Zeppelin lamp. Such a beauty: As you will have noticed (doubtlessly, I hope) the creator of this lamp no steampunk study should be without is Flaminio Bovino, and this could mean “Burning Cattle” or “Burning Cow” but my Italian is a little [...]
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
