Description

Layer Warning:
Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.
A sketch entitled "The Fancy Ball" given in the Victoria Theatre. The view is taken from the 3rd box. The moment chosen by the artist is about eleven o'clock when a large number of persons engaged in a gallopade (waltz) and a black suddenly rushed into the midst of them and commenced a corroboree.
