One hundred years ago, visionaries and artists wondered what the future might look like for females.

A set of 20 trading cards dating all the way back to 1902, republished by the Longstreet blog in 2012, depicts “Les Femmes de l’Avenir” — the women of the future.

The costumes of each woman fall more on the side of post-Victorian pin-up calendar than professional garb, but it’s fascinating to look at the clothing elements and attitudes that are clearly seen as important to each profession, whether it be a cigarette or a pair of spectacles.

The photos were reportedly created by A. Bergertet, of Nancy, France.
