EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of diamond mining in Kimberley, South Africa. The image showcases the appearance of the diamond mine in 1880, with its rugged cliffs and intricate network of ropes that provided access to this geological treasure trove. During this era, Cecil Rhodes played a pivotal role in shaping the diamond industry as we know it today. In 1887 and 1888, he successfully amalgamated various diamond mines around Kimberley, including De Beers, into Consolidated Mines. This consolidation marked a significant turning point for both Rhodes' career and the future of diamond mining. The elevated view captured in this engraving highlights not only the vastness of the mine but also its importance within Northern Cape Province's geography. It serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity can transform natural resources into thriving industries. As we admire this historic photograph print from "The Life and Times of The Right Honourable The Marquis of Salisbury" published by J. S. Virtue & Co. , Ltd. in 1896, we are transported back to an era where science met industry on these very grounds. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past as they remind us how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for progress in fields like geology and mining.
