From a French postcard c. 1910. Notice the caption which translates as "In the year 2000." Not too far off, except for the costumes.

Weird. I wonder if the guy at the desk is using an iPad.

Is the guy at the table drawing those pictures in real-time?

I just showed this to my husband, and he mentioned it being porn as well. It always starts with porn.

There are many postcards that show ideas about what the future will be like. I have seen cards that show a city street in the year 2000. There are flying machines and airships everywhere!
