In the screen capture from the I Love Lucy episode Lucy and the Loving Cup which aired on 7 January 1957, Lucy is wearing the thinly disguised Loving Cup on her head as she travels the subway. On the wall is a Red Cross Disaster Relief poster and an NYC Subway map. Below are pasted in vintage color versions.
