How thw world will be in 2000 from the previous postcards

While the illustrations were far fetched at the time, the concepts aren't that far off from today's reality. Some scenes include advanced technological tools, like when manufacturing clothes, sweeping the floor, and harvesting a farm. Delivering mail and putting out fires was predicted to be done in mid-air. They even have electric roller skates and rolling houses.

The series includes at least 87 cards, which were first produced for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. They lacked widespread distribution due to financial constraints, but after many decades came to light again. Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov rediscovered them and published them as a book titled Futuredays: A Nineteenth Century Vision of the Year 2000.
