19th century art depicting life in the year 2000

I tried hunting down the source of it - seems like this book called "Futuredays: A Nineteenth Century Vision of the Year 2000" is the source material for all these posts and has scans of the original postcards released at the Paris World Fair. Here is the book link http://www.amazon.com/Futuredays-Nineteenth-Century-Vision-Y...

Found another link with a few more of these illustrations http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/france-in-the-year...

What again? Seriously, this shows up here every couple of months.
