Real photo postcard studio photograph of ventriloquist act Joan and Paul Sharratt, depicted as a couple portrait alongside two marionette or dummy figures. The printed caption along the lower edge reads Joan and Paul Sharratt, and the card bears a handwritten blue ink inscription reading Arthur, Thanks for looking after us, best wishes, Joan and Paul, indicating this was personally signed and dedicated to a named individual. The reverse bears a pink ink notation reading Pop Show, Studios, May 12th, 1948, providing a specific date and performance context for this card and placing it precisely within the post-war British variety entertainment circuit. Signed double act ventriloquist cards with a specific performance date notation are uncommon and add both personal and documentary value to this example.

The reverse reads: Blank reverse with pink ink notation reading Pop Show, Studios, May 12th, 1948.
