"The Observer's Book of Portals" Fig. 4 - *2 - a M.A.S.A document

A pictorial document (Aethergraph) from Bangkok circa 1900 ?

This image depicts a portal installation fashioned in the style of a temple memorial stone.

It appears to be showing a tele-visual broadcast of an ever popular early '60's Japanese TV commercial for "Cosmo's Carbonated Drinks" -

wherein the naively amusing character ( or irritating little cretin ? ) "Cosmo" - who upon his arrival & much to their hilarity & delight, would entertain the residents of Tokyo's outter suburbia.
