The illustration is by Boris Artzybasheff who was a prolific artist, especially for commercial art.
Back when tech companies paid artists to make amazing artworks and didn't just steal their work.
@thomasfuchs I saw this days later, so I guessed in my head as “the over on 1970” (I do everything like an odds-maker after so much #poker in my life), so I lost.
It does remind me of Edison's stock ticker and how it impacted Wall Street. I think you can draw a straight line from Edison's stock ticker to the 1929 crash. As you can draw a straight line from that Time magazine cover to today.
