The Black Mine, Jundah, Central West Queensland (the first black opal mine in Australia), c.1900.

Gelatin silver print photograph, cabinet card format, 108 x 164 mm (mount); verso with wet stamp of travelling Queensland outback photographers Nicholas & Co., and a fully contemporary inscription in pencil; ‘The Black Mine. For Miss A. (?)Garries’; the print has excellent clarity and is in very good condition, as is the mount. Quite possibly a unique image.
