Poster advertising a 'grand new serial' for the women's story magazine 'Peg's Paper' depicting a racist caricature of a Chinese man with the caption 'A moment later Nancy was in his power'.

He is standing behind a Caucasian woman in a red dress and sunhat, on the verge of strangling her with a piece of white material. She is unaware of his presence. The price is stamped on the bottom right. Signed on the plate by the artist. Lettered bottom right with the printer's name and address in Holloway.
