What you're looking at above is a real, actual object found in the
material world. It's an Etch-a-Sketch so modified, as to look like a
glorious leftover from a bygone era that never was. What era, you ask?
Oh, the Victorian era -- so named for the United Kingdom's longest
reigning monarch -- with a great dash of fancy added into the mix.
We're talking alternate history, people! A history so wonderful, so
beautiful, that a lowly red plastic Etch-a-Sketch could end up both
complex and inordinately heavy looking. Made by an industrious youth
as a Christmas gift for a chum, we couldn't imagine a better way to
make this boring old gadget look so jolly well festive. Hurrah!
