The image is a poster featuring a person in a suit holding a magic trick card in his hand. The person’s face is covered with a white cloth, and they are holding a pipe in their other hand. The text at the top reads "OLD TRICKS. BY SEYMOUR CHAST. EXPOSED," and it appears to be advertising a show or exhibition. His head is covered by a sheet-like material, which creates a mysterious or surreal effect. This could be symbolizing the idea of "exposure" or "revealing secrets," showing to the audience that this is going to be a magic show performance.
The colors are bright, and the style of the illustration is somewhat playful, with a focus on the mysterious aspect of the hidden identity.
