EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases a collection of prophecies for the 20th century, as envisioned by Albert Robida. Amongst these prophesies is one that appears to predict the invention of television, a groundbreaking innovation that would revolutionize communication and entertainment in the years to come.
The black and white format adds a timeless quality to this portrait of male and female figures surrounded by various inventions and innovations. The image captures a sense of wonder and curiosity about what the future may hold, with each individual engrossed in their own thoughts about the possibilities presented before them.
In particular, the depiction of what seems to be an early version of a television set is strikingly prescient, considering that television did not become widely available until several decades later. It serves as a reminder of how visionaries like Robida were able to imagine technologies that were far ahead of their time.
As we look at this print today, we are reminded of the power of human imagination and ingenuity in shaping our world. It serves as a testament to the endless potential for innovation and discovery that continues to drive progress in society.
