"a barrier of barbed wire that had been hidden in the floral garlands"

The weblog of the Kensington Library has many wonderful entries, and a favorite of mine is the post on 1906 fashions of the street!

 

 

Did you know early suffragettes were trained in ju-jitsu? It’s true! (And they used barbed wire to good effect as well.)

 

 

The University of Southern Maine just concluded an online exhibit on ocean liners from the turn of the 20th century, but it’s all still available for the reading and perusing.

 

 

Okay, enough of all this fashion and design. How does steampunk physics work, exactly? Wonder no more!
