A look at early live television advertising. This photograph was apparently one of a series of pictures that followed a young model around, at work and at play. Here she becomes the face of Schaefer beer. Her job was to appear in what was basically a televised print ad with the help of an announcer' s voice-over. The TV station is WPIX, Channel 11 in New York.
Note the overlapping registration of three color matrices in the upper left-hand corner.
