一百多年前人們眼中的2000年

Back in1899-1901, French artists imagined what their nation might look like in another century. They tapped into their imaginations, drew their futuristic designs, then distributed them as paper cards enclosed in cigar boxes right around the time of the World’s Fair in Paris. The drawing above imagines the French classroom in the Year2000. You can see an extensive collection of other designs–23 images in total— at The Public Domain Review. H/T@WFMU

1899年至1901年間，法國藝術家對該國在下個世紀的圖景進行了展望。他們充分地發揮想像，畫下了頗具未來主義色彩的圖案，然後，把他們裝在雪茄盒裡，在巴黎世博會期間將帶有這些圖案的卡片分發出去。上圖中是想像中2000年法國的教室。在The Public Domain Review可以看到更多作品（總共23幅）。
