The scene is teeming with life as workers go about their daily tasks, creating a fascinating snapshot of historical African industry. The intricate details of the machinery and infrastructure highlight the advancements made during this era. Taken by an anonymous South African photographer, this print offers a glimpse into the thriving mining operations that shaped Johannesburg's landscape at that time.
