EDITORS COMMENTS
An enchanting glimpse into the future, this print transports us back to 1883 and offers a visionary perspective of the world as it would be in 1953. A young lady, adorned in exquisite Victorian fashion, gracefully pays calls by her personal airship amidst a labyrinth of telegraph and telephone wires. This remarkable illustration is derived from 'Le Vingtieme Siecle' (the 20th Century), an imaginative work by A Robida that captivated Parisian audiences with its bold predictions. In this vibrant scene set against the backdrop of France's bustling cityscape, we witness the harmonious fusion of innovation and elegance. The young woman's colorful parasol adds a touch of sophistication as she effortlessly navigates through the sky on her dirigible, defying gravity with grace. The intricate network of wires symbolizes the rapid advancement in communications technology during this era. A testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress, this artwork encapsulates both our fascination with flight and our desire for seamless connectivity across vast distances. It serves as a reminder that even in the late 19th century, people dared to dream beyond their present reality. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print today, let us appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging that imagination has always been at the heart of progress.
