A middle-aged man and woman, both dressed in finely crafted Victorian attire – he in a burgundy velvet tailcoat with a jabot cravat and monocle, she in a copper-colored satin corset and a train skirt embroidered with gears – walk along a suspended walkway between two brass-and-glass towers. Background of steam clouds and pipework. The man holds a cane with a ruby pommel emitting a faint wisp of smoke, while she carries a mechanical fan whose blades are moving brass slats. Dark but luminous atmosphere thanks to gas lamps and slowly rotating gears.
