Real photo postcard studio photograph of ventriloquist act Le-Hurst with dummy figure Jimmy, both dressed in Pierrot clown costumes with distinctive white ruffled collars and dark pom-pom decorations. The matching costumes between performer and dummy create a cohesive visual identity for the act, a theatrical choice that emphasized the bond between ventriloquist and figure.
The caption Le-Hurst and Jimmy is printed along the lower edge of the image. The reverse was sent from Ventnor, Isle of Wight, dated July 19th 1928, with a brief message, and bears the stamp of G. Brannon Royal Photographer, The Esplanade, Ventnor, suggesting the card was produced locally during a seaside engagement.
The front bears the printed text: Printed caption reading Le-Hurst and Jimmy along image edge. The reverse reads: POST CARD reverse with G. Brannon Royal Photographer Ventnor stamp, handwritten message dated July 19th 1928. Handwritten inscriptions read: Ink message dated Ventnor July 19th 1928.
