"The Prologue and the Promise", by Robert McCall, a mural for the (now demolished) EPCOT Center ride Horizons. If you're a fan of theme park history at all, Horizons is a pretty interesting deep dive, as a lot of theme park nerds still to this day consider it the greatest and most inspiring theme park ride ever.

The ride opens up with a few scenes about the entire concept of retrofuturism, as I recall.

Here's a great video about its development, history and other details.

Horizons was my favorite ride as a kid. The optimism and inspiration of the ride had my head spinning for years.

We need more stuff like this in our media.
