Year 2000

"Victorian illustrated trade cards" with the thematic "year2000" link, still 100 years away at that moment, when the 19th century ended, and "science fiction views about the futur", were very popular on all kind of published "advertising cards" (also postcards !)

Due to the many the images on the topic, I created also separated sections :

  • lots of pre-1900 trade cards available (also in sets, menu cards, etc..) related to tennis, badmington and all kind of other sports (but not Year2000 related)

    if this needs an explanation : a machine to put the animals in ... and the leather shoes are coming out

  • lots of pre-1900 trade cards (also in sets, menu cards, etc..) related to cooks in their kitchen (but not Year2000 related)

    the dirigent is sitting on a machine and makes blowing the horns and playing all instruments

  • lots of pre-1900 trade cards available (also in sets) related to fire fighting (but not Year2000 related)
