G'day,
Pictures of a long-lost mining life
Through the Eyes of a Miner: the Photography of Joseph Divis, explores the Czech miner and photographer's impressions of life in a New Zealand mining town in the first part of the 20th century.
He documented the life of people above and underground in Blackball, Waiuta and Waihi between 1909 and 1935.
Divis was from Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, but much of his subsequent life remains a mystery. Although we know he settled and died in Waiuta in 1967.
