Commentary:

News that Feigert was arranging a Festival Ball in the Konvikt Hall for the nameday of Katherine was first published in Prager Morgenpost 20/11/1858

Prager Morgenpost 26/11/1858 published a brief, unsigned report which noted that the event was excellently attended by the most convivial company. Unusually, the text also related the titles of three dances that had been particularly well-received and upon general demand had had to be repeated.
