The Future, Patented in 1888
What if the future had been imagined by Victorian inventors? I explored historical patent drawings from the National Archives and transformed their intricate mechanical linework into a fictional archive of inventions that never existed. Using Recraft, I created a custom visual style inspired by antique patent engravings, aged paper, fine technical details, and restrained sepia tones. The result is a collection of eight imagined inventions that bring the visual language of the past into an alternate future.
