It all started with the 1939 worlds Fair with its theme of ‘the world of tomorrow’
The Fair’s influence on science fiction (and sci-fi parody), industrial, commercial, and urban design, and marketing resonates into the present.
I‘ve always been fascinated by the the concept and I absolutely love the graphic representation of it that permeated the 40s and especially the 50s. I have several books and magazines from the period which explore this.
Here is an example, probably my favourite cover. The Home of tomorrow!
Great album cover. Best part is that the music is so un-futuristic , more like the sound of yesterday
