A drawing entitled 'A voluptuary' in the magazine Pick-me-up (14 July 1894) pictures Wilde as sterotyped Chinese – thin, slit-like eyes and prominent buckteeth – smoking opium in the chair.
A satirical review of a London Chinese restaurant in Illustrated sporting and dramatic news (9 Aug. 1894) was accompanied by a sketch 'Oscar in China', which depicts Wilde smoking a cigarette and taking a Chinese teacup in hand, as a pigtailed Chinese waiter watching aside.
