EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a silver mine at Broken Hill, Australia, a city with a rich and storied mining history. Discovered in the late 19th century, Broken Hill holds the distinction of being Australia's longest-lived mining city. The exploration of this area began in 1844 when Charles Sturt, an intrepid explorer, named the Barrier Range and made note of a "Broken Hill" in his diary. However, it was not until 1883 that silver ore was discovered on this broken hill by a boundary rider named Charles Rasp. Sydney, the most populous city in Australia and the capital of New South Wales, is shown here in stark contrast to the rugged mining landscape of Broken Hill. Located on the south-east coast of the Tasman Sea, Sydney is a bustling metropolis with a vibrant history. This photograph, taken in the 1890s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the significant role that mining played in shaping the Australian landscape and economy. The intricacies of this historical image are brought to life through the Boswell Collection, a testament to the rich heritage of Australia's past. As you gaze upon this slide, imagine the hardworking miners toiling away in the depths of the mine, their determination and perseverance etched into the very fabric of this remarkable city.
