Real photo postcard studio photograph of performer identified as Fred Einann, shown standing alongside a ventriloquist dummy mounted on a small wooden chair or stand prop. The plain studio backdrop is typical of theatrical portrait photography of the Edwardian and early interwar period.


Einann is dressed in formal performance attire and looks toward the camera with a composed expression. Cards of this type served as professional calling cards distributed to variety bookers and theatrical agencies. The caption is printed along the vertical edge of the image.


The front bears the printed text: Printed caption reading Fred Einann along image edge. The reverse reads: Blank divided reverse. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil notation visible.
