The image, which dates back to around 1910, is a captivating representation of the renowned magician in his prime. Chung Ling Soo's theatrical career reached new heights during this period, and this poster, Lot 1156 in the Catalogue of Part III of the J.B. Findlay Collection of conjuring material (1980), offers a glimpse into the popularity of his performances. The portrait showcases Chung Ling Soo's distinctive appearance, with his long ponytail, or queue, and blue plait, which was a signature element of his stage persona.
