    It's always fascinating to see how traditional and classical designs were adapted to all these new forms, or in the least how new styles were created to keep these forms fit for the artist and architectural styles of their time.
    Steam locomotives, cars, steam ships, and skyscrapers were all these previously unseen forms, yet designers found ways to make them fit the artistic and architectural aesthetics of the era. It's really impressive.
