This photogravure postcard shows a Chinese doll maker at work outside the shop of Wun Man & Co. The doll maker was handmaking a doll with a needle. The caption on this postcard’s backside describes the doll maker as a ‘magician’. He ‘rubs the mixture’ of ‘a piece of flour and wax … with other matter of varied colour’. Then, the mixture ‘becomes a Chinese mannikin with comical pink head and a coloured kimono’.
