1966 Batman Trading Cards

Norman Saunders is an artist who painted trading cards, comic books and commercial works throughout the '50s and '60s. He created this amazing collection of Batman trading cards back in 1966.

While he might be best known for painting the infamously banned Mars Attacks cards, his work with Batman brings a level of shark-fighting, acid-throwing, sidekick-endangering action and a slightly off-model Joker that's just fantastic.

Women of the Future, According To 1902

Generals, marines, lawyers, coach drivers, politicians, and even artists! These were “Women of the Future,” as imagined in a series of 20 French postcards from 1902.

Several if not all of the pictures seem to mock the idea of women entering the professional sphere, but this was only one year before Marie Curie shared the Nobel Prize in Physics, so perhaps there was a bit of cultural intimidation at play here.
