Aviation Police Over Paris — En L'An 2000 French Future Vision Card

Personal flight technology takes center stage as a uniformed aviation police officer, equipped with mechanical bat-like wings and wielding a baton, pursues a suspect riding a primitive biplane above a recognizable Parisian skyline. The concept of aerial law enforcement — officers patrolling the skies of the year 2000 — is rendered with charming chromolithographic detail. Pedestrian aviators, small aircraft, and even winged figures populate the crowded futuristic airspace above Haussmann-era boulevards.
