Russian futurism from 1900 - Czarist jetpacks!

By at 8:40 am Tuesday, Mar 13

Dark Roasted Blend has a collection of futuristic Russian illustrations published in 1900 -- pictures of a Moscow that never was. (They say that this is Moscow as it might have been save for the Reovlution, but that's pretty improbable -- it wasn't Leninism that killed Jetsonsism, it was reality.) Link (Thanks, Avi!)
