Gezicht op een diamantmijn in Zuid-Afrika, vermoedelijk bij Kimberley before 1880

This 19th-century photograph by the Gray Brothers, titled *Gezicht op een diamantmijn in Zuid-Afrika, vermoedelijk bij Kimberley,* depicts a diamond mine in South Africa, most likely near Kimberley. The image shows a vast, open-pit mine, with the earth stripped away to reveal the layers of rock and soil. The photograph, taken before 1880, offers a glimpse into the early days of diamond mining in South Africa and serves as a historical document of this industry.
