Real photo postcard depicting what the printed caption identifies as the Edgar Bergen Family, showing Bergen alongside his dummy Charlie McCarthy and what appears to be his daughter Candice Bergen as a child, together with another figure, in a warm domestic group portrait. The caption Edgar Bergen Family is printed along the lower edge of the image.


This card is of particular biographical and cultural interest as it documents the Bergen family in a personal rather than strictly promotional context, with the future actress Candice Bergen visible as a child alongside her father and his famous dummy. Published by Mulling Star, California, the Kodak photo postcard stock and the apparent age of Candice Bergen suggest a production date in the late 1950s or early 1960s.


The front bears the printed text: Printed caption reading Edgar Bergen Family along lower edge. The reverse reads: Kodak PHOTO POST CARD reverse published by Mulling Star, California. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation visible.
