May 1954 - Basil Wolverton art on a Harvey Kurtzman-designed Life magazine parody cover. The folks at Life were reportedly quite unhappy about this at the time.
----- this is my favorite Mad cover of all time, and from the time when Mad was still a comic book, before becoming a magazine to avoid the newly created Comics Code, after the congressional hearings
Chesterfield cigarette ad from the July 29, 1940 issue of Life Magazine.
"Cooler and Milder and Better-Tasting"
"Chesterfield - America's Busiest Cigarette"
If you are a person who likes to be the center of attention, I have two suggestions when getting photographed: (1) do not pose with a young child, and (2) do not pose with a cute dog. I guarantee that either of these two will blow you off and steal your show. Hence I may be making a big mistake in composing the picture above.
Nina Leen shot this fawn-and-white whippet in 1964. The dog became a superstar in Great Britain. To my eyes, the photo has that classic portrait feel that I thought would be a cool background for my classic Mamiya-6. Initially the vertical photo above was going to be my tribute to the Mamiya-6 but I ended using Bill Beall's Busted as a background photo just because it looked better on screen. www.flickr.com/photos/juznobsrvr/16039560356/
In doing Icons behind the Lens series, I realized that the horizontal or landscape format worked better when displayed on the screen of a computer. My dilemma is that horizontal formats do not work well in books as opposed to vertical or portrait format. I'm still trying to figure out a way for the audience to appreciate looking at photos in both a book form and the web. Sometimes, the square format is the compromising solution. But this would mean cropping the picture since I'm using an SLR with a 2x3 format. I think that would be a waste of pixels.

“This photo of a bulletin board shows some of the clippings taken from leading U. S. newspapers during and shortly after the Lunar Orbiter I mission. Stories of the mission were given prominent play in such leading publications as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, the Pasadena Independent, Life magazine, Time and Newsweek magazines.”
The bulletin board was likely at Boeing’s Seattle, Washington headquarters.
“The Story of Attila the Hun.”
“Against the ravaging hordes of Attila . . . stood a warrior’s might and a people’s faith: Against his ruthless pagan lusts . . . the power of a woman’s love.”
With the Roman Empire divided, Attila the Hun (Jack Palance) hopes to conquer it, but in his way are a brave centurion (Jeff Chandler), a beautiful princess (Ludmilla Tchérina) and Christianity.

I believe that this couple is related to the Pipe-Smoking Man, who smokes a pipe, wears yellow socks, and appears in some other slides I've posted (see, for instance, The Silence in the Room Was Deafening).
This woman and man, who may have been Pipe-Smoking Man's parents or in-laws, didn't always seem to be in such bad moods. Take a look at Here's the Lady You Ordered! to see the hilarity that ensued as the man and another fellow carried the woman through a doorway into a house (judging by the corsage that the woman was wearing and the flower in the man's lapel, I suspect that they were celebrating a wedding anniversary).
I wasn't able to see a date or determine who's on the cover of the Life magazine on the coffee table, and it looks like there's also a Toby jug on the table near the magazine.
Update: Thanks go to goenetix over on Ipernity for identifying the Life magazine issue! It was published on October 9, 1950, and that's British actress Jean Simmons on the cover.

"You don't buy tires on looks, or color or weight; you have to put your faith in what you are told about them. . .
"The service must be in the tires, not in the words used. We make Marathon Tires that way -- by hand, not by machinery; hand work is better than machine work in tires; it costs more. Marathon tires cost more than others; they're worth more."
Sponsored by the Marathon Tire & Rubber Co. of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
"Prior to 1919, the principal business for Cluett, Peabody & Co. was manufacturing men's shirt collars. Beginning in the 1920s the demand for collar-attached shirts grew considerably, while the detached collar business experienced a decline. In 1929 Cluett, Peabody & Co. established a national menswear business under the Arrow brand name. The "Arrow" name gradually grew into a product line that included shirts, collars, handkerchiefs, cravats, pajamas, and underwear for men and boys." -- Wikipedia
