Albert Robida The Release of the Opera in the Year 2000 c. 1882, lithograph
Their every day will be caught in the wheels of mechanized society, to the point where I wonder how they will find the time to enjoy the most simple pleasures we had at our disposal: silence, calm, solitude. Having never known them, they shall not be able to miss them. As for me, I do—and I pity them.
-Albert Robida, from his short story "1965," written in 1920
