#4 Udar
Leather, studs, and big hair set the tone in “Udar,” a posed group portrait that looks like it was made for a backstage wall or a DIY promo flyer.

A riot of “future warfare” unfolds in this colorful illustration labeled “EN L’AN 2000,” where early-automobile styling collides with battlefield fantasy.

#79 The food delivery of the future as imagined in 1940s.
Outside a tidy suburban home, a glossy, streamlined van pulls up like a visitor from tomorrow, its side opened into a spotless little kitchen on wheels.
