Most old pictures I've seen that show an old TV set the TV was incidential. The photographer was interested in a picture of grandma sitting in the easy chair that happened to be next to the TV (obviously most of the seating in that living room was intended for family and friend gatherings and only a few seats were suitable for TV watching). In my case the Christmas tree from 1951 was next to the table with the Philco tabletop TV in an old picture in the family album. And the picture cropped a small portion of the TV. You've seen it in another thread in one of these TV forums.
Besides, trying to photograph the TV with an image on the CRT almost never worked out anyway.
