CHUNG Ling Soo (William E. Robinson, 1861 – 1918). Chung Ling Soo. Chinese Conjurer. Ashton-Under-Lyne: Horrocks & Co., ca. 1910. Three-sheet lithographed poster in blue, white, and black bearing a central full-length portrait of Soo, flanked by Chinese characters on either side and text at the top and bottom in English. With a three-dimensional shaded effect, giving the look of a photograph. 84 ½ x 39”, with over-coloring to old folds throughout, and at sheet breaks; B. Linen backed. The only example of this poster with which we are acquainted.
A half-sheet poster with a similar design was also produced by Horrocks. This is one of only a handful of three-sheet Soo posters extant, of any design.
