Abstract: Six Chinese men depicted in traditional costume and queues walk in a line towards the left, all holding or smoking opium pipies. The two in the lead hold their heads in pain. The third man has just exhaled a large puff of smoke as he turns to the fourth man who leans heavily on his left arm, gray-faced and slightly doubled over in distress. The last man in the line has a devious look on his face as he pulls the queue of the fifth man who whinces in pain
