There are some awesome illustrations in the 1890 sci-fi novel "Le Vingtième siècle. La vie électrique" ("The Twentieth Century. The Electric Life") by Albert Robida. The novel is in French, so I’ve just used Google to translate a few snippets. But the illustrations are killer.
First is the cover, which has a pretty chill steampunk vibe.

1. Cover to the novel "La vie électrique". Shows a futuristic Parisian skyline, a steampunk-like flying vehicle, and a Victorian-styled scientist of some sort.
