Humans have always been fascinated by what lies ahead. From fortune tellers to futurists, we crave glimpses into the unknown. While writers and politicians have made bold predictions, artists have taken it a step further by bringing their visions to life through detailed drawings and designs. However, as time has shown, not all of these predictions have come true. In fact, many of them couldn’t have been more off the mark. This collection of 17 historical drawings explores the fascinating and often wildly inaccurate visions of the future that artists once conceived.
