| dc.description.abstract | A massive white billowing cloud and stately Royal palms is the backdrop of this vintage photograph taken of Waterloo Road when Trinidad was under British rule. The Royal palms flank the road on either side. Typically palms were planted in this manner to announce that you were about to enter a special area, estate or institution. There are buildings just behind the palms on either side of the straight, long, paved road. A man wearing a shirt, pants and hat stands next to his bicycle on the left side of the road. On the right of him is a group of three people standing in the shadow of the Royal palms, with hands on their hips. Two of them are wearing hats. Two vintage cars possibly from the early 1900s, are heading north. | en |
