Abstract

This photograph of Columbus Square and monument could have been taken circa 1900. The monument to Christopher Columbus: navigator; explorer; colonizer, who encountered Trinidad in 1498 on his third voyage, is barely visible in the background. In the foreground is a path lined with several large leafy trees, whose branches criss-cross one another, forming an archway to the monument. There are buildings behind the trees.
