Full STEAM Ahead!

This Strauss & Bros. ad from a 1910 issue of The Clothier and Furnisher is everything and a bag of chips! It features a Muchaesque Progress, who reclines on a ship's wheel, a car, and a locomotive, while gracefully saluting the text: "High Art Overcoats for Men and Young Men." Meanwhile air-ships run rampant over an Italianate landscape, careening through a rose-decked archway that is precariously balanced on a flying globe. What a wonderfully bizarre celebration of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM)!
