Printed postcard featuring a circular vignette illustration of ventriloquist dummy Squibs depicted in close portrait with a cigarette prop at the lips, with a handwritten caption below reading Introduced by The Great Cyril. The warm sepia-toned card has a decorative border and the vignette presentation is characteristic of Edwardian novelty postcard printing conventions. The Great Cyril was an established British ventriloquist act of the early twentieth century, and the naming of the dummy character Squibs on a dedicated printed card reflects the level of public recognition the character had achieved. Published by Imperial Publishing Co., London, this card bridges the categories of printed novelty postcard and ventriloquist promotional ephemera. The front bears the printed text: Printed vignette with handwritten caption reading Squibs, Introduced by The Great Cyril. The reverse reads: Imperial Publishing Co. London POST CARD reverse. Handwritten inscriptions read: Ink caption on front, pencil catalog notation on reverse.
