Long Tack Sam (1884–1961) was a Chinese-born American magician, acrobat, and vaudeville performer. Little is known about his early years, although he is known to have joined a group of acrobats in around 1900 called the Tian-Kwai, with whom he toured the world. Several years later, amid unrest in China, he brought his troupe of entertainers to the United States, where he performed extensively for several decades. This 1919 colour lithograph poster featuring Long was printed in Hamburg, Germany. Poster credit: Studio of Adolph Friedlander; restored by Adam Cuerden
