This advertisement begins by detailing the success of the 'complimentary and farewell demonstration' conducted at the conclusion of Grace Egerton's Melbourne season in July 1868 and 'attended by 1500 persons'.
The advertisement continues: 'Many professional and private Sydney friends trust that as Mr. and Mrs. George Case are about leaving for India and China that the same substantial recognition of their services and talents may be accorded them in this city'. For the purposes of such a 'recognition', William Dind placed the Prince of Wales Opera House at their disposal for the night of 28 August 1868.
