Interpretive description

According to Sydney Daily Telegraph (17 October 1902) as reported in Margaret Tart's 1911 biography, Quong Tart was presented with a silver salver and a cheque for 300 guineas by the Mayor of Sydney (Mr T. Hughes) on behalf of the citizens. This occurred after the assault on him in his tea rooms which perhaps explains the black skull cap he wears.
