In 1900 This Is What They Thought The Year 2000 Would Be Like

In 1900, German chocolate company Hildebrands produced a series of postcards imagining the wonders of life in the year 2000.
The optimistic renderings envisioned people in Victorian fashions enjoying lives of boundless leisure and comfort enabled by a century of technological advancement.
The predicted innovations range from accurate (live broadcasts of plays) to absurd (cities covered by weather-proof glass roofs) to depressingly plausible in the near future (summer holidays at the North Pole).
