This vertical print shows a slick advertising image in the top half with a man and a woman watching an early model television set. The woman is smoking a cigarette. A text box is inserted asking three questions. The bottom half is less slick, simply a diagram and text, some of it in a typewriter font. Text above and below asks about how soon television sets will be widely available in homes and museums. The date 1944 is included in parentheses at the top of the image.

This colorful print has a series of scenes in four quadrants with a yellow-orange frame. All of the images are blurred, likely because the color plates did not line up with the registration for this proof. In the top left, there is a image of soldiers leaning over next to a small statue made from the photograph "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima." In the lower left, there is an image of a woman, smiling and holding flowers. In the top right, there are three images (top to bottom): circuit board, doubled image of the Mr. Peanut cartoon, and a partial American flag. In the lower right, there are two blurry images: the top image is abstracted and the bottom image shows two scientists working on what appears to be a space craft.
