The editor's note on the front flap begins with a poem by "H.R.", entitled:
'KIMBERLEY
Where transport riders scanned/The sky for dust from panned/Blue ground, a digger's camp/Would be a city or be damned.
Images of Kimberley is a pictorial glimpse into the early history of the city. This unique collection of postcards was garnered by Richard Oliver over a considerable period of time and was augmented by the collection of the Kimberley Africana Library. The events that shaped the lives of the people of the time and their remarkable achievements in this barren landscape which became a permanent home to many, are the basis of the accompanying text.'
