This weekend I visited the National Railway Museum in York. It was a spectacular source for inspiration, and the Warehouse's collection of archive treasures was fascinating. I took dozens of photos of weatherworn textures, mechanical workings and recovered artifacts from a bygone era.
I loved the colour palettes- gleaming coppers, beaten metals, worn leathers, faded patterned textile interiors, dynamic paintwork and the dull rusting bolts holding it all together. Not only was this an incredible find for Steampunk references, but it also had a nostalgic resonance which drew the visitor deeper into the narrative behind the exhibits.
