Black and white 8 by 10 press photograph of a ventriloquist performer in close portrait with a dummy figure, the print bearing a bold handwritten ink signature and personal dedication across the front. The inscription includes what appears to be a name and warm personal message, confirming this was a personally signed and dedicated promotional piece. This print appears to be a companion piece to the other signed ventriloquist close portrait in this grouping, with both sharing a similar photographic style and compositional approach. Together they represent the personally inscribed press print format used by ventriloquist performers for fan distribution and personal correspondence during the mid-twentieth century.
