Old-Fashioned High-Tech: Bizarre & Eccentric Inventions 1851 - 1951

0/5 ( ratings)

Watches that doubled as satnavs. Machines to massage the eyeballs of a tired businessman. An early food processor. Spectacles that included electric lights. A cigarette holder - for two cigarettes.

The Victorians and Edwardians were quixotic pioneers of steampunk ingenuity, and the Maurice Collins Collection is a repository of all the bizarre by-products of their inventiveness. Join Guy Browning on a tour through this trove of Heath Robinson-esque zany gadgetry as he brings his uniquely off-kilter perspective to one of the UK's most brilliant and bizarre collections.
