Earle Bergey's Teleportation Peril, Startling Stories July 1947

This cover hilariously predicts teleportation technology as a glowing ring apparatus operated by a single dial console — decades before quantum entanglement research would reveal how laughably underpowered that would be. Earle Bergey's signature glamour-in-peril composition frames a terrified dark-haired woman suspended in a luminous energy vortex, her red dress billowing, while a suited man frantically reaches toward the device's controls. The golden energy halo and dramatic magenta aura are quintessential Bergey bravura.
