EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Scenes in the Old Days, Hauling by Horse Whins" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. Captured by an anonymous South African photographer, this image is a part of a private collection that offers a glimpse into the historical life of miners and their daily struggles. The scene depicts a group of hardworking individuals hauling heavy loads using horse-drawn carts known as "whins". These carts were commonly used during this era at the Kimberley Diamond Mines, where laborers would transport precious diamonds from deep within the earth. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when manual labor was prevalent and essential for survival. Printed as a gravure illustration for the book "Scenes and Life in Transvaal" published around 1890, this photograph showcases not only the mining industry but also provides insight into everyday life in South Africa during that period. It serves as a valuable historical document capturing both scenes from diamond mines and broader aspects of African life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are transported to an era filled with determination, resilience, and perseverance. Through its monochromatic tones and intricate details, it reminds us of our rich history while shedding light on how far we have come since those old days.
