Another "Guesses at Futurity" picture

[ffutures]

I've found another picture in the Guesses at Futurity sequence published in Pall Mall Magazine in 1894-5. I'd missed it before because it's by another artist, Francis Masey, not Fred T. Jane who drew the rest, and they were indexed separately.

The two I've found since the last release of the FF CD-ROM are numbers 8 and 9, I've uploaded them to photobucket but they've been reduced considerably in size to fit into the allowed space:


Guesses at Futurity No. 8: A Dinner Party A.D. 2000. Menu of Chemical Foods




Guesses at Futurity No. 9: A Street in the City of the Future





I'm still unfortunately missing pictures 4-6 completely, and only have a poor reproduction of no. 7. All of these would be in volume 5 of the magazine, January-April 1895, so if anyone sees this on sale anywhere please let me know.

That city street isn't too far off. No flying cars, nothing too unusual (at least at this size).

He missed cars though.

I think he may have assumed that they were a passing fad.
