In this image for readers of the Australasian Sketcher, Chinese gamblers are a subject of intense curiosity for a mixed Little Bourke Street audience. The combinations of light and shadow, of mystery, concealment and expose of the lottery recurs throughout the reportage of the ‘Chinese Quarter’ from the 1870s to the new century.
