Palapye is depicted as a bustling large town situated halfway between Francistown and Gaborone in Botswana. With its strategic location, being 240 km away from Gabarone and 170 km away from Francistown, Palapye played a significant role in the history of British South Africa.
The intricate details captured in this photograph provide a window into the past, offering viewers a glimpse into life during that era. The architectural structures, landscapes, and people portrayed on this lantern slide evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone.
