Retrovictoriana

Just occasionally, the internet brings you something wonderful that you almost didn't click to.

Check out this beautiful steampunk silhouette animation, and just imagine something similar set in some retro-Victorian version of Longton.

Even better, there are a few tantalising echoes of Conrad (I think) in the heavy sense of nautical apprehension that runs through the plot.

Perfect. Thanks to alec-m for noticing!
