Were you aware of it?!

Dear Reader— Am I aware of the Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage? The answer would be - most certainly! It was one of the first steampunk blogs that I began to follow years ago. Sydney Padua’s historical footnotes are a particular highlight. I would recommend it to anyone who likes steampunk or the Victorian period.

Thank you for your Question.
