Alan Mays' photos with the keyword: June

This is Thomas Dewey , the 1948 Republican presidential nominee, and his wife in an image from the televised broadcast of the 1948 Republican National Convention . The image is a photograph of the screen of a television set that received the convention broadcast in 1948. See also the full version of this photo and a snapshot of the actual Philco 48-1001 television set that was tuned in to the convention broadcast.

Handwritten caption: "Taken on our 10" television screen - June 24, 1948. Dewey nominated for pres."* This snapshot of 1948 Republican presidential nominee Thomas Dewey and his wife is actually a photo of an image from the screen of a Philco 48-1001 television set tuned in to the broadcast of the 1948 Republican National Convention , which "was the first presidential convention to be shown on 'national' television". In 1948, according to Wikipedia , "there were 27 television stations in full operation in the US and an estimated 350,000 TV sets in the whole country." For a better view of the televised image, see a cropped version of this photo. *Although the handwritten caption below the photo gives the date as June 24, it's possible that it was a day later, on June 25, 1948.

The boy posing with his bike on this real photo postcard is identified on the other side as "Lewis Metzler" and the location is indicated as "Williamsport, Pa." A date of "June 1921" is written on the front of the card (see the full version) .

An in disguise / in costume photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park. This may appear to be a Halloween-time scene at first glance, but this real photo postcard of women dressed in men's clothing was actually taken during the month of June, judging by the calendar on the wall behind them. Although the calendar is partially hidden behind the women, I believe it's a bank calendar ("The ----- National Bank"), and it's possible that the location printed on it is Liberal, Kansas. Since June 4 falls on a Friday as shown on the calendar, I'm guessing that the year is 1915 (other possibilities are 1909, 1920, and 1926). The square for Saturday, June 12, seems to be specially marked, so perhaps they're getting ready for a party or some other frivolity on that date. For an interesting comparison, take a look at the trick or treat photo-- Boys' Night Out --that I posted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park about this same time last year:
