"Diamonds and Gold of South Africa. By Henry Mitchell of Kimberley. Together with the Transvaal Gold Law. And other useful information."
Publisher's cloth binding with gilt titles on front panel.
vi + 109pp. Fold-out sketch map of routes to the diamond fields as frontispiece.
This is a very early work referencing Johannesburg (see page 34), which was proclaimed a city in October 1887. The Rand Gold Fields had then only recently been thrown open and in a few short years the once bleak, wind-swept Transvaal grassland was transformed into the Golden City.
A very scarce title.
