An important and comprehensive antiquarian volume, 'The Diamond Fields of Southern Africa,' penned by the distinguished consulting mining geologist Percy Albert Wagner. Published in 1914 by The Transvaal Leader in Johannesburg, this work offers an in-depth exploration of the diamond fields, accompanied by numerous maps and illustrations that detail the geological aspects and mining operations of the era. The book is bound in its original green cloth, showing signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage, including some rubbing and fading to the covers. Internally, it remains a valuable resource, originally part of a university library collection, as indicated by the stamps from the University Library, Reno, Nevada. A significant piece for collectors of geology, mining history, or Africana.
