EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of the Premier Diamond Mine personnel and their families in Cullinan, Transvaal, South Africa, in November 1911. The image, taken outside the local public house, showcases a diverse gathering of men, women, and children, who were all connected to the thriving diamond mining industry in this South African town. The Premier Diamond Mine, located in the picturesque town of Cullinan, was a significant contributor to the region's economy during the early 1910s. The mine's owners, managers, and their families are prominently featured in this photograph, along with their employees and staff. The wives and children of the mine personnel add a humanizing touch to the image, emphasizing the community aspect of life in Cullinan. The setting of the photograph, with its brick wall and buildings in the background, further emphasizes the industrial nature of the town. The public house, likely a popular gathering place for the mine personnel and their families, adds a sense of warmth and camaraderie to the scene. George Page, the licensee of the public house, stands proudly among the group, adding to the sense of community and togetherness. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the people who lived and worked in Cullinan during the early 1910s, offering a unique perspective on the social and industrial history of this South African town.
