Lillywhite's Tour Finances — Pay, Gates and Disputes, 1876-77
England in Australia and New Zealand
1876-11-01
James Lillywhite's 1876-77 tour was the first English tour of Australia run as a private commercial venture rather than on invitation. The professionals travelled for a share of the gate; that share was repeatedly disputed throughout the trip, and the tour returned home with a slim profit only after months of haggling with local agents.
