Air firefighters, one of the postcard images

En L'An 2000 (In the Year 2000, also loosely translated as France in the 21st Century) is a French image series depicting scientific advances imagined as achieved by the year 2000. At least 78 were produced, by artists including Jean-Marc Côté[citation needed]. They were printed in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910, first on paper as cigar box inserts, and later as picture postcards,[1][2] but never distributed. The only known set of the postcards was acquired by writer Isaac Asimov, who featured them in his nonfiction work Futuredays: A Nineteenth Century Vision of the Year 2000 (Henry Holt and Company, 1986).[3][4]
