1960s Western Electric videophone ad

Paleofuture’s recovered this great Western Electric videophone ad from one of the early rounds of failed video telephony. The ad itself comes from an intriguing-sounding book called The Golden Age of Advertising: The 60s. Be sure to check the whole Paleofuture post for a great potted history of the boom-and-bust videophone efforts over the years.
