The 19th century vision of the year 2000
In France in 1988-1910 a series of pictures titled "En L'an 2000" by various artists were distributed in cigar boxes and postcards depicting what artists thought the year 2000 would be like.
Originally produced for the World Exhibition in Paris, due to lack of money the project was forgotten about until 1986, when a science-fiction author named Isaac Asimov found them and published them in his book Futuredays: A nineteenth Century Vision of the Year 2000.
The creators of the works seem to have underestimated how far we would come in terms of technology. Some also seem a little impractical and pointless.
To me the works give us insight to what science-fiction at the time was, where are the aliens and zombies!?
It's easy to find these pictures amusing and I dread to think how the "Intensive Breeding" machine works, but just think of how hard it is to predict where we will be in 100 years time! In fact leave a comment down below telling us what you think life will be like in the year 2100! 😄
