Experiment in progress
This image is a screen shot or production still from the movie Serenity, set in the Joss Whedon Firefly universe. The woman in the chair is the character River Tam (played by actress Summer Glau), and according to this site she’s in the Project Oracle lab at the Alliance Academy in this scene. Because the movie was made on a tight budget, the chair is recycled from the set of the movie Species 2, where it was used to restrain actress Natasha Henstridge playing a mutant named Eve.

A most unusual experiment
This cartoon, captioned “Miss Strauss has graciously consented to a most unusual experiment…”, appears here with the credit “Cabaret 1956”. The reference is most likely to Cabaret magazine; you can see the covers to all 12 issues of the 1956 Cabaret here. An artist’s signature (“Troop”) is visible lower left, but more information on the cartoonist is not readily available. (Noted magazine illustrator Miriam Troop worked in that era, but her signature on this piece for Woman’s Day is quite different.)
