A masquerade ball organized by Jules Verne in 1877 featured hundreds of attendees in costumes inspired by characters and places from his “scientific fiction” novels. It took place over 60 years before the first costumed science fiction-themed convention in 1939. Had Jules Verne once again anticipated the future?

Join sci-fi/fantasy and historical costumer Kathe Gust as she discusses the process of researching and writing her upcoming book, Jules Verne and the First Science Fiction Masquerade.
