Philo Farnsworth Showing TV Lens to Tennis Stars

(Original Caption). Lester Stoefen, of Los Angeles (left), and Frank Shields, of New York (right), U.S. Davis Cup stars, pictured as they appeared at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to demonstrate tennis shots for the benefit of the public in the first showing of the Farnsworth television set. P.T. Farnsworth (center) inventor of the set, shows the players how the lens picks up the light impulses, which are changed to electrical impulses, then back to light impulses in a projection room. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
