Spectacular photo album titled DU FRANCE AU SUD-AFRIQUE 1895. It records the travels of a Frenchman to Bloemfontein, Pretoria and Johannesburg as well as visiting the diamond mines of Kimberley and various gold mines. 200 photos in all, well and legibly captioned. The owner of the album was Mr. Bergson, who appears to be a senior executive in the diamond business. He visits the home of Isaac Dreyfus, founder of Messrs Dreyfus Bernheim & Co, and one of the 5 original members of the Diamond Buying Syndicate, which became the sole buyers of diamonds from De Beers. Numerous photos of different mines and the life of Zulus working the mines. The owner had a very good camera. A rare find showing the capitals of the two Boer States 5 years before the Boer War and various gold and diamond mines in their infancy.
