EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a fascinating glimpse into the early days of diamond mining in South Africa. The image shows miners hard at work on the depositing floors of the Kimberley De Beers Diamond Mine, before the turn of the 20th century.
The scene is a testament to the grit and determination of these Victorian-era miners, who labored tirelessly to extract precious diamonds from deep within the earth. The harsh conditions and back-breaking work are evident in their stoic expressions as they sift through piles of dirt and rock in search of valuable gems.
The De Beers Diamond Mine played a crucial role in shaping South Africa's economy and history during this time period. It was one of the largest and most productive mines in the world, fueling British colonialism and empire-building efforts across Africa.
This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the hardships endured by those who worked in these mines, as well as the immense wealth that was generated from them. It offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era when diamonds were first being unearthed on an industrial scale, forever changing the landscape of South African society.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this historical moment for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. It is a captivating snapshot that captures both the beauty and brutality of diamond mining in pre-1900 South Africa.
