German language inquiry (Houdini)

Hello:

I have a signed Houdini portrait card.

On the back, the card is printed in small type as follows:

"Kupfer-Tiefdruck Carl Ebner, Kunstanstalt, Stuttgart."

I believe that this is in reference to the photographer (Carl Ebner) and the name of the publishing company...but that is only speculation on my part - due to my ignorance of proper German names & cities.

Any help that our German collector friends can provide to me - would be most appreciated.
_____________________________________________

Also, RUBBER-STAMPED on the back is this:

WU LING
The Magical Mandarin
62, Clun Road
Sheffield, 4.

Is that name familiar to any of our European-British collectors?


I'll try to get a picture posted soon.

Thanks!
