EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the 1930s, showcasing a family intently watching television. The cover of this catalog from an unspecified year in the late 1930s, presented by Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a scene of domestic bliss as the family huddles close together around their television set. The black-and-white image, measuring 10 inches by 8 inches (25x20cm), captures the early historical significance of television and the joy it brought to families during this era. The prices for these television sets ranged from a modest 29 to a more substantial 200 guineas, reflecting the luxury and exclusivity of the technology at the time. The set itself, with its large, bulky appearance, serves as a stark contrast to the sleek, flat-screen televisions we are accustomed to today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the scenes and moments that defined a pivotal period in television history. The family's rapt attention to the set underscores the captivating power of this new technology, which would soon become a staple in households around the world. This 10x8 inch (25x20cm) print, taken from the catalog cover of Marconi's, is an excellent addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in the history of television. It offers a unique perspective on the past and serves as a reminder of the significant role that television has played in shaping our modern world.
