Scope and Contents
Kimberley Miner, 1948. Photographic image of a man with no shirt on and wearing a helmet with a light in front. He is holding a large piece of "blue ground" in his hands. He is smiling. The following caption is found in Stuart's notes relating to this image: "Sometimes a miner will find a diamond embedded in a piece of blue ground he has been blasting. This is a moment of great rejoicing. He has brought it up to the top of the main shaft to claim his reward from the mine manager." Photograph by Constance Stuart Larrabee, 1948.
There are two 8x10 black and white fiber-based prints of this negative in the Constance Stuart Larrabee Collection. EEPA also produced an 8x10 study print for reference purposes.
