EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring "big hole" of the old De Beers Mine at Kimberley. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The immense scale of the mine is truly remarkable, showcasing the magnitude of human endeavor and engineering prowess. The photograph was later used as an illustration for a book titled "Recent Heroes of Modern Adventure" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1932. It serves as a visual testament to the incredible feats achieved during that time period. The De Beers Mine at Kimberley holds great historical significance, representing both triumphs and challenges faced during its operation. This iconic landmark has become synonymous with South Africa's rich mining heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the extraordinary sights witnessed by those who ventured into this vast underground labyrinth. The sheer depth and expanse of this pit leave us in awe, reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit for precious resources. Let us appreciate this stunning piece from history as it reminds us not only of our past achievements but also encourages us to explore new frontiers on our own modern-day adventures.
