Otahitian Dancer"
The 'heiva' was
preformed in theatres in London and other European cities
by dancers imitating what they thought were the movements
of the dance. Likewise on the same 'bill' were
examples of dances of the Hottentots and other exotic entertainments.
These were but pale imitations of the reality. Here
the illustration attempts to show what was the true
joy of the dance. (3b) 14" x 11" individual print
