History of Robots in The Victorian Era: Mechanical Marvel of the Nineteenth Century. Here is the most extensive collection of images and information on Victorian-era robots to be found in the whole World Wide Web. Meet Boilerplate, the Automatic Man, the Electric Man, the Steam Man – The World’s First Robot -, and the Robots from the Land of OZ.
so weird bibi, i was just looking at this site this morning. am just about to post on robots myself i think…
it ought to be noted that the boilerplate thing is not real. the site was evidently meant as a sort of proof of concept for a comic which people took seriously, so the creator, being an artist, took it as far as he could.
still a great link, just thought i should mention it.
Yep, it’s a nice link, but I’m not so sure if they were really real. But I liked the ideas and images.
