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:
