EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lantern slide captures a glimpse of the historical town of Palapye in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) during the late 19th century, circa 1890s. Part of Box 288 in the Boswell Collection, this image showcases the British South Africa region in all its glory.
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.
As we reflect on this piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural significance that define places like Palapye. This print serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of African history.
