Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture

Sentence

This handsome fellow was Lewis Payne, a.k.a. Lewis Powell, sentenced to death. The original views - wet collodion negatives on glass plates - were shot in April 1865, three months before his execution by hanging, wearing that same sweater.
Sentenced to death.
Aren't we all?

There is no more than just one clock in the picture!

I agree with you about the typography being a little bit superfluous Tome, but the composition needed to be balanced on the left side, while keeping it somehow assymetrical. As a web designer, I'm sure you know how it feels...

I like the contrast and juxtaposition of the figures.  The typography on the left seems a little superfluous considering the amount of clocks in the piece.  Was it added for balance, or is this going to be part of a larger series?
