The Future That Never Was


I am intrigued by the pasts perception of the future.  This lithograph is from the 1880s  and depicts flying aquatic buses and  late 19th century  Victorian attire. Who would have ever predicted that in the year 2000 We would still be wearing monocles and going to the opera. Im pretty positive that the only opera that occupies popular culture nowadays has the words "phantom of the" preceding it.
