Showing a group of Africans and an unidentified European (also seen in Y3052A/146 and possibly connected with the telegraph service) standing in front of two of Chief Khama’s (or Kgama) thatched huts which are enclosed by decorated mud walls. Khama (c. 1830-1923) became a Christian in 1850 and Chief in 1875. He settled at Shoshong where for many years he worked with James Davidson Hepburn the LMS missionary (see Y3052A/147). He moved his capital to Palapye in 1889 and this accounts for the newness of the buildings seen in this and Y3052A/145. Palapye was in turn abandoned in favour of Serowe in 1902 ( see Y30546A/61). Photograph probably taken October 1890.
