Phosphate mining, Nauru, 1919

фото: Phosphate mining, Nauru, 1919

Описание: Throughout the twentieth century Nauru was one of four small Pacific islands that supplied almost all the phosphate used for fertiliser in Australia and New Zealand. Once mining exhausted the resource, the island was left as a moonscape of pits among coral pinnacles. Documentary filmmaker and writer Maslyn Williams collected this photo of phosphate miners at work to show just how destructive the process was for Nauru. PXB 293 (v.5/1–169) by unknown photographer, collected by Maslyn Williams collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/Y0KB75m1/gDOe3Ael7XkQe On display in the exhibition Shot: 400 photographs, 200 photographs, 3 centuries photogallery.sl.nsw.gov.au/
