Printed postcard presenting a close portrait of Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen, identified by printed caption along the image edge as Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen, NBC. This card is a third example of Bergen and McCarthy promotional portrait photography within this collection, here presenting a tighter close-up composition that emphasizes the monocled and top-hatted McCarthy character in relation to Bergen's face.
The reverse is blank with only a pencil catalog notation visible. Together with the companion Bergen and McCarthy cards in this collection, this example documents three distinct promotional portrait compositions produced for NBC network distribution, collectively representing one of the most thoroughly documented performer and dummy partnerships in American entertainment history.
The front bears the printed text: Printed caption reading Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen, NBC along image edge. The reverse reads: Blank reverse. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation visible.
