Your blog is endlessly fascinating.
Note the hurry and scurry of the lunchers. Very nice find.
I love the 4th one…..it’s like someone traveled into the future and saw the DLR
very cool.
This is amazing!!! What a remarkable find. Times were clearly no less cynical.
Loved this. Always been a “retronaut”, never knew there was a name for it, or that there are so many others. Cool site!
This has to be the earliest example of photoshop you’ve found so far.
Love it!
