From a German artist, Echte Wagner, who designed advertising cards

Very interesting, I think I saw some of these pictures when I was a child in the 1950's
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Its intriguing to see what various views of a possible future were from back then. And likely still will be, hundreds of years from now - assuming we haven't managed to annihilate ourselves by then.

Probably populated by cockroaches; I remember reading somewhere that they're the most likely to survive most things. Big Grin
