"TV : the money rolls out" : illustration by Costantino Nivola from article in Fortune Magazine, July 1949

An article in Fortune describing the growing American TV industry at a time when it was in its infancy and where the investment required was still being matched by losses as the industry developed. The article discusses many aspects of the burgeoning new technology from both studios to manufacuring of equipment and television sets - activities than would truly take off in the coming decade with far-reaching implications for many aspects of society, technology and industry.

 

This colourful drawing showing the activity behind and in front of the cameras is by Costantino Nivola.
