In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Window to the Future' is a humorous, eerily prescient look at the ads and graphics that helped sell TV to the public from the early days of electronics up to the 1970s. Brimming with vintage advertisements featuring retro graphics and wholesomely outdated scenarios, Window to the Future also features such mid-century celebrities as George Burns, Walt Disney, and Ronald Reagan the actor endorsing the latest Westinghouses and Zeniths (best tag line from an ad: "Imagine Bob Hope - on Television!"). Glamorous images of dapper men and elegant women hosting cocktail hour in front of their new black and white console contrast with holiday advertisements of happy families on Christmas morning unveiling the newest member of the household: a state-of-the-art colour television. The 150+ print advertisements, magazine covers, and catalogue images show the evolution of how we think about television: first as a (promised, but not yet extant) scientific wonder, then as technological marvel, status symbol, mother's little helper, social catalyst, and all-consuming pastime. This trip down a pixilated memory lane points to the days of television's youthful innocence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

176 S., broschiert. Zustand: Sehr gut. When television sets were still a luxurious novelty, manufacturers had to sell the new technological wonders by emphasizing their most glamorous, comforting, and appealing attributes. Window to the Future is a nostalgic, humorously prescient look at the ads and graphics that introduced TV to a consumer public who would make it a fixture in the home within a few short years. From fanciful visions in early radio magazines to the lifestyle ads in the heyday of the "talking picture box," Window to the Future brims with images that projected idealized scenarios of the television as a treasured addition to the household. Celebrities who would come to dominate the medium (Walt Disney and Ronald Reagan not least) endorsed the latest Westinghouses and Zeniths, while illustrations of dapper men and elegant women hosting cocktail hour in front of their new black-and-white console projected the party trend of the future. More than 150 print advertisements, magazine covers, and catalog images show the evolution of our complex relationship with this ubiquitous domestic appliance and a pixellated trip down memory lane of television's youthful innocence.
