Early Television
With the advent of television, the radio was quickly displaced from living rooms to the bedroom, the bathroom, or the kitchen. This television and radiogram, exhibited by Decca at the 19th National Radio and Television Exhibition in London in 1952, combined both radio and television in one console. The size of this television allowed large groups of people to watch such family favorites as “I Love Lucy,” which aired from 1951 until 1957. Lucille Ball and Edward Everett Horton are shown here in an episode of this popular comedy show.
