Great article, I really wish some of the flying machines had come to pass, it would be great to head to work like that! Michel Verne the son of Jules Verne wrote a book in 1889 entitled In the Year 2889 which had an interesting view of the future, I wonder if this inspired some of the paintings.
Albert Robida had some interesting ideas about what things would look like. I have this image as my profile image on some social media site:

Try reading Looking Backwards by Edward Bellamy - the vision of a utopia in year 2000 (written in the 1880s)
