Johannesburg: Images and Continuities: A History of Working Class Life through Pictures (1885-1935) by Peter Kallaway and Richard Pearson is a pictorial history which engages many significant themes in the making of the modern Witwatersrand. Johannesburg's first century (1886-1986) changed the course of South African history. The country's industrial revolution took place in the wake of the discovery of gold and a large segment of the rural population was proletarianized.
