The Year 2000 as seen from 1882

The pictures are cool. It is always interesting to see what doesn't get updated for the future in these kind of things. In this, it's the clothing. Aircars fill the skies, but everyone is dressed contemporary to 1882.

This lithograph from 1882 depicts the fanciful world of 2000; flying buses, towering restaurants, and of course, 1880's French attire. Albert Robida is less well-known than Jules Verne but contributed just as much to the collective imagination through his amazing illustrations.
