Handwritten caption: "Taken on our 10" television screen - June 24, 1948. Dewey nominated for pres."*
This snapshot of 1948 Republican presidential nominee Thomas Dewey and his wife is actually a photo of an image from the screen of a Philco 48-1001 television set tuned in to the broadcast of the 1948 Republican National Convention, which "was the first presidential convention to be shown on 'national' television". In 1948, according to Wikipedia, "there were 27 television stations in full operation in the US and an estimated 350,000 TV sets in the whole country."
For a better view of the televised image, see a cropped version of this photo.
*Although the handwritten caption below the photo gives the date as June 24, it's possible that it was a day later, on June 25, 1948.
