Postcards to the Future

In the year 2000, everyone would have their own personal dirigible.

Check out these neat postcards from the German chocolate company Hildebrand, circa 1900. They depict predictions of the future - the year 2000 to be exact. Some are bang-on, while others are quite laughable. All in all, a delightful collection.

  1. Awsome post card Miss P. If you see this comment remind me to show you a rare book i have by Rudyard Kipling upon your visit. It is titled the Night Mail, 1905. Gold embossed balloon cover. It is the ONLY science fiction written by Kipling. Ricky
