EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph showcasing the earliest form of in-home television entertainment. The black-and-white image displays a 1930s television set, featuring the latest type of receiver for both vision and sound. The compact set boasts a fluorescent screen measuring 8 by 6 inches and proudly displays a beloved character, Mickey Mouse, as its picture. In December 1934, this innovative technology was introduced to the public, with the smaller set priced at an affordable 50 dollars, while the larger 12 by 9 inches version retailed for 80 dollars. However, prices dropped significantly as production became more competitive. On the 2nd of February 1935, history was made as the Baird system transmitted both indoor and outdoor scenes to an eager audience in Westminster. The recording included thrilling scenes of horse jumping and racing, marking a monumental moment in the world of television. This photograph serves as a reminder of the early beginnings of television technology, which brought the magic of moving images and sound into the comfort of people's own homes. The Baird system, a groundbreaking import, paved the way for the advancements that would eventually lead to the modern televisions we know today.
