EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time that is steeped in history and wealth. In the center of the frame stands Richard Ormsby Kerr, flanked by B. O. Holtermann on his left and Beyers on his right. The trio proudly display their impressive haul of reef gold from the Star of Hope mine, dating back to the years 1870-75. The image exudes an air of success and fortune as these men bask in their remarkable discovery. Bernhard Otto Holtermann, a prominent figure in both mining and politics, stands tall among them - a testament to his determination and ambition. The composition showcases not only the immense size of this precious find but also its significance within Victorian society during British colonial times. This golden nugget represents more than just material wealth; it symbolizes luck, prosperity, and perhaps even destiny. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to a time when dreams were made real through sheer perseverance. It serves as a reminder that treasures can be found not only beneath our feet but also within ourselves - if only we dare to dig deep enough. This extraordinary print from Australian Photographer (19th century) now resides at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales – an invaluable piece of history preserved for generations to come.
