EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of an extraordinary entertainer from England's past. Meet James Burns, also known as Squeaking Tommy, a renowned ventriloquist who left his mark on the County of Nottingham in the late 18th century. In this etching from 1804, we see Burns in action, mesmerizing audiences with his exceptional talent for throwing his voice and bringing life to inanimate objects. His skillful manipulation creates an illusion that captivates both young and old alike. As one gazes at this image, it is impossible not to be drawn into the world of wonder and amusement that Burns created during his performances. The intricate details captured by Granger Art on Demand allow us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also glimpse into a time when entertainment was simpler yet equally enchanting. Although Thomas' life ended tragically in 1796, his legacy lives on through this remarkable etching. It serves as a testament to his contribution to English entertainment history and reminds us of the immense talent possessed by individuals like him who brought joy and laughter to their communities. Granger Collection has once again preserved an invaluable piece of cultural heritage with this photograph print - reminding us all that even centuries later, great artists can still leave
