SCARCE ORIGINAL - Postcard of the Chinese Bath House "On The Rand", South Africa. Unused c1906. Sixty-three thousand Chinese indentured labourers helped resuscitate South Africa's ailing gold mining industry in the aftermath of the South African War of 1899–1902. This short-lived experiment – the first men arrived in 1904 and by 1910 all surviving labourers had been repatriated to China. Minor corner wear (see scan) otherwise in very good condition.
