Street 'baloon' lights



Enthusiasm about this emerging world of flight was not solely reserved to professional artists. Between 1899 and 1921, Charles Dellschau, a retired butcher who claimed to be a member of a secret society called the Sonora Aero Club, filled 13 notebooks with 2,500 drawings, paintings, and collages of ideas for air travel and airships now not just for traveling but giving us night light .

These guys take their flying seriously

The future liberals want

Challenges to the status quo and possibility of progressive social change was something periodicals reacted strongly to throughout the 19th century. In 1888, American journalist David Goodman Croly predicted that, “Women throughout the world will enjoy increased opportunities and privileges. Along with this new freedom will come social tolerance of sexual conduct formerly condoned only in men.”



Outrage at the havoc this future would wreak was reflected in a cartoon by Harry Grant Dart entitled “Why Not Go to the Limit?” Drawn at a crucial time for the women’s suffrage movement, he predicted where such progress would lead: bars full smoking, drinking, gambling women, ignoring their children and relegating men to the “Gentleman’s Parlour.”

In the early 1920s, a set of 100 postcards were discovered in an abandoned French factory basement, amongst shelves of dusty novelties and circus automatons. From there they sat in an Editions Renaud, a Parisian antique shop for over half a century, until they were bought in 1978 by author Christopher Hyde. They show views of the year 2000, with personal flying machines, telescopes that could capture distant planets, robot tailors, and farms under the sea.

The illustrations had been commissioned by manufacturer Armand Gervais to celebrate the “fin de siècle festival” of 1899. Illustrator Jean Marc Côté produced a set of cards inspired in part by Jules Verne, and in part by the automatons made by the Gervais company itself.

The moment OP realizes that '20's' refers to '1920's' and not '2000's'...

what if that was exactly what the OP intended to use

This picture defies everything Physics has called laws.
Thanks, OP, this picture just fueled my OCD in ways that are too complex to explain. My day is made.

one of the most complex drawing then even now , but then you find fascinating ? Fascinating.

TheSourcerer:
what if the op Decision was to use the 20's,

This ( Between 1899 and 1921, Charles Dellschau, a retired butcher who claimed to be a member of a secret society called the Sonora Aero Club, filled 13 notebooks with 2,500 drawings, paintings, and collages of ideas for air travel and airships now not just for traveling but giving us night light ) being in the article means the pictures were illustrated between the 1900's and the '20s. It was definitely talking about the 2000's because they were predicting leaps in technological advancement.
It is purely illogical for someone to predict such mammoth steps in technological advancements in the span of 9 or fewer years.

Edit:
The 'EN L'AN 2000' inscription on some of the pictures favors my stance.

I am open to corrections though.

Man’s a sourcerer

Wow.... Funny enough, even though they weren't very accurate but they were very correct to an extent.... There's a term for this, it's called "retro futurism"

I wonder if future generations will see our present day sci-fi movies and feel the the same way we are feeling now.

Let them know that we are still fighting Fulani marauders o.
