This collection of German postcards were originally give-aways in Hildebrands chocolates in 1900. They depict the world as it would be in 2000. Included are a water-unicycle, slidewalks, locomotives pulling houses, personal airplanes, weather control systems, amphibious railways, police X-rays for seeing through walls, and, of course, zeppelins. Beautiful artwork, too.
The one that caught my eye was the one depicting Summer Holidays at the North Pole. Do you think they actually had an idea that global warming was coming?
