Electric Dreams

I'm currently writing on retro-futurism and am startled to find a  series of chromolithograph postcards published by the printer Villemard.  Their visions for the future in the year 2000 include flying firemen and teachers who feed books to machines hooked up to  students' brains. Books go into the meat grinder and behold, ideas come out like electricity.
