       The 50's. The great war was over. Communism kept the masses terrified. The American dream had come into fruition. Television had ensured that all of America dreamt the same dreams.Dreams of new dishwashers, of June Cleaver and Ed Sullivan. These images are of some of the more interesting pieces of pop culture / propaganda (same thing?) which came out of this era.
