Looking for old futuristic posters.

Spectral Swallow

Like the kind of stuff you'd see at the turn of the century (how people though things would be) with people in personalized jet packs and all the buildings with glass and domes. I found some of Windsor McCay's work kinda like what I'm looking for:



Kinda along those lines, if that makes any sense at all.

It's called Retro-futurism, and it's basically the entire art style behind Fallout 3. Plenty of stuff out there. Look at the 1908 world fair or whatever.

Pulp sci-fi might be good keywords.

You could also try looking into Italian Futurism and Antonio Sant'Elia,

There's also a website displaying a lot of stuff for the retro future here:

There's a cool Serenity/Firefly travel poster pack that might be sort of along these lines (though not too obviously futuristic):

It's not really a poster, but I still think It's really cool.

Mr. Forsell predicted that the same television screen the housewife watchers her baby on will deliver the day's news or a special college course at the push of a button.

Haha, silly past people, thinking we'd let women read or get an education!

Before Cat kills me, j/k. This stuff is pretty fascinating, particularly the robotics and in-home predictions. Like how the original Star Trek was behind the times on some things (data storage, communications) and so off on others (warp, spaceships).

I googled the retro-futurism and found a ton of results, thanks. But still no posters. I could just take some of the pics to Kinkos and have them blown up though.



And that website paleofuture was hilarious. That's pretty much spot on as far as what I am looking for. I just wish they were a bit higher quality.
