EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the captivating world of Mechanical Pieces, Plate 186, an enchanting collection of Victorian-era novelties from the 1880s. This intriguing photograph showcases a diverse range of ornaments, each with its unique charm and mechanical wonder. At the center, a magnificent bird tree clock graces the scene, its metallic branches adorned with delicate glass shades and a clock face at its heart. Nearby, a monkey conjuror or magician, with a mischievous grin, performs a trick, adding an air of mystery and excitement. Sleeping Beauty lies peacefully in her ornate case, her delicate features captured in glass, while a woman diligently sews at her machine, her concentration unbroken. A bird in a cage, with its vibrant plumage on full display, sings a melodic tune. A Chinese tea seller or merchant, with his intricately designed case and steaming teapot, offers a warm brew to passersby. A sword swallower, with an impressive display of skill and bravery, prepares to swallow yet another sword. And a monkey, with a determined look in its eyes, takes aim at a target, ready to show off its marksmanship. Each of these mechanical pieces, with their intricate designs and dome-topped cases, offer a glimpse into the rich history and styles of the Victorian era. These fascinating novelties, mechanised marvels of their time, continue to captivate and delight, transporting us back to an era of wonder and enchantment.
