Poster: Shanghai's "Five Centuries of Progress: 1974-2474"

A random internet search brought us to this kinda cool poster from artist Steve Thomas. It's a retro-futuristic advert for the World's Fair in 2474 (we guess) that celebrates Shanghai's "Five Centuries of Progress." We suppose that means the 2010 thingy we're hosting goes OK. Ironically, the Pudong skyline used to represent the future in the poster is already the old Pudong skyline. The best part: Entry to the World's Fair is only four credits. And children get in for a half credit! We can't wait until 2474.

A large print of the poster is $23.95 ... and the Christmas shopping season officially starts tomorrow. A whole bunch of other Steve Thomas items are available here, as well.

A big (and watermarked) version of the poster is after the jump.
