What life might be like in the year 2000.

In 1910, A  French  artist / futurist Villemard produced some illustrations depicting what life might be like in the year 2000. So if you were ever having wonders what the  Steam-Punk world would have looked like then lets have a look.


The electric train
Automated Construction Site
Auto-Roller Wheels
Robot Barbour Slave (an electric razor perhaps?)
More Robot slaves for Madame
 
A Chemical Dinner
Scouts cyclists
At the School (looks most accurate of all.)
  Cinema - Phono - Telegraph (so its a video phone from 100 years )
Robot Slave Concierge (oh and flying freaking Cars)
A Steam Punk seen of Mad Max. This is 5 yers before The Mark I Tank.

Hearing Journal, like a dicta-phone.
A Curiosity, this was perhaps his way of saying the automobile would kill the horse.
Electric fire place
A automated tailor
An Airship-Boat
A Flower Festival, in flying cars.
Flying Fire-fighter, Flying Fire-fighters,Flying Fire-fighter.
The Avenue de l'Opera (its in France)
A Boat Rescue
Police Airman
An Advanced Helicopter
OK, OK my French sucks, so don't trust my translation. Well I hope you enjoyed this, see you all soon don't forget to comment and I will see you all next week. (via)

  2. These are funny to look at because you have to think that the guy drawing them is from 1910. I must say that he did a good idea with a few of them. What an imagination the guy had. I wonder if you ask someone today to do that for what the world will be like in 2100 it would be very interesting.
