Help requested. I'm trying to explain steampunk to some artist friends. Words are failing me, I need to show them images. what can I show them?

websites and videos are best. They are not really aware of the same movies and video games as most of the ST folks. I think if they can see a good collection of images of high quality art and craftsmanship, they will get it.
