The 2000s seen by the 1900s

Post by commander fury »

Here's a fine collection I have brought for you of some nice, futuristic, and sometimes funny ddrawings, circa ~1900, of various artists envisioning the 2000s.
I have noted below all the picture what I think of it ! (And also the title up it).
Enjoy :D !

Flying firemen
Image
They were totally wrong on it.Even nowadays, we don't know how to make a man flying in the sky without the help of any motor.

Electric car shoes
Image
Tell me, don't they remind you of some things...The 80s maybe...

To the barber
Image
Wrong, again.Even actually, most of the barbers that I have seen are making their job with their hands.Exetp the driers, nothing like that nowadays.

Going to the opera...
Image
I can perfectly imagine this nowadays, but laws wouldn't permit it and the noise would be awful.

A curiosity
Image
Wonder if it is a curiosity because it's an old mean of transportation, or because...Most of the animals have disapeared ? We'll probably never know.

Paris-Beijing electric train
Image
Electric trains do exist...But not this one.

Aaaaannd...
As there is a lot (lot) of them, here's some links !
Tell me what you think of 'em :D !
