Friday Distraction
La Guerre Infernale, written and illustrated in 1908 by Pierre Giffard and Albert Robida, was a serialized children’s novel, predicting a global aerial war among Germany, Britain, the USA and Japan in the 20th Century. Robida’s drawings are magnificent (when not xenophobic and racist), and indicate an ease with the mundane as well as the fantastic. Think Miyazaki illustrating Wells, but more French.
