CHUNG LING SOO (William Ellsworth ROBINSON 1861-1918). Fine full-length photographic portrait of Chung Ling Soo, holding a deck of cards and dressed uncharacteristically in formal Western garb, standard format on a mount marked The Gem of New York; Signed on the verso, "WB Robinson Chung Ling Soo." New York, before 1900.
- Notes: Unusual portrait of Robinson in formal Western attire and sporting a moustache. Most certainly taken before he adopted the role of Chung Ling Soo with his shaved head and face.
