Future Schlock

I'm afraid I can't attribute this bizarre image to a specific source; the fashions and the color of the appliances date it as being from the early 1960s.

Two particular aspects of this curious scenario catch my eye: the handbag conspicuously placed on the counter, and the uncanny resemblance of the older woman to the Queen Mother.
