Miners washing for gold in the Californian gold fields, 1853.
Miners washing for gold in the Californian gold fields, 1853. The apparatus they are using is called a Long Tom. The discovery of gold in 1848 led to mass immigration into California, with over half a million people from all over the world pouring into the state in search of riches. From L'Illustration. (Paris, 18 June 1853).
