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.

Philco Television Set, 1948

A photo of outdated technology (typewriters, record players, etc) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park. This is a photo of a Philco 48-1001 television set, which was manufactured in 1948 and had a 10-inch television screen. I bought this along with a second photo showing 1948 Republican presidential nominee Thomas Dewey and his wife at the Republican National Convention , which was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June 1948. The image of Dewey and his wife is actually a photo of the screen of this TV set taken during the broadcast of the Republican convention, which was the first nationally televised presidential convention . See also a cropped version of the second photo.
