(trans: First Eisteddfod Johannesburg

Christmas 1896)

This photo belonged to Webbert (J. E. Griffiths), who gave a copy to my husband. He said that he had found it in Buckley. At any rate, he was convinced that, as it was in his possession and found in Buckley, it must have a Buckley connection somewhere along the line! (any ideas welcome- ed.) I took a copy to the museum in Johannesburg during a trip there and they were delighted to receive it, placing it on display.

The address of the museum is;-

City of Johannesburg

Africana Museum

Public Library

Market Square
