EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Chung Ling Soo, also known as William Robinson, graces the center of a Willow Pattern Plate design on this vintage poster. 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. The Willow Pattern Plate design, a common motif in Chinese-inspired art, adds an exotic and mystical touch to the poster, further emphasizing the magician's Eastern persona. The reverse side of this circular flyer reveals that Chung Ling Soo performed the first part of his act at the Islington Empire Theatre in London on the 17th of August, 1914. The Willow Pattern Plate was likely one of the illusions featured in this groundbreaking performance, which showcased his mastery of magic and conjuring arts. Chung Ling Soo's career was marked by a unique blend of Eastern mystique and Western showmanship, making him a trailblazer in the world of popular entertainment. This poster is an intriguing artifact that offers a glimpse into the rich history of magic and the enduring allure of Chung Ling Soo's enigmatic persona.
