This photo appeared in the May 2, 1949 issue of Life magazine in an article on the recently opened television station, WICU in Erie, PA. At that time there were only 61 TV stations in the US.

This is the original caption in the magazine:

The wonder of television drops jaw of Dickie Osborne, 8, who watches program on store window set. Glass reflects the image off TV screen.
