Original ofgraveconcern creations based upon steampunk anatomy and mythology.
‘The spectacle of Nature and the peculiarities of natural history’ was written in 1754 by the French priest and teacher Noël-Antoine Pluche (13 November 1688 – 19 November 1761), the book influenced many to become naturalists and was translated all across Europe, even though its theories were not scientific. The study of natural history evolved from the popular cabinets of curiosities in the 17th and 18th centuries, by the early 19th century the disciplines of physiology, botany, zoology, geology, and paleontology were formed from the early investigations of Natural history the century before. The figure on the left is an original ofgraveconcern creation based upon steampunk anatomy and mythology.
