The photograph might have been taken circa 1900-1910. The monument to Christopher Columbus: navigator; explorer; colonizer, who encountered Trinidad in 1498 on his third voyage, stands here amid large trees, shrubs and grass. The iron statute at the top of the monument was a gift from Hippolyte Borde, an affluent local cacao planter and merchant. It stands in a large round fountain safeguarded by a high iron fence. This photograph itself is surrounded by a design which is made-up of simple red lines.enPlease contact the Main Library, The University of the West Indies for permission to use the digitized images. wimail@sta.uwi.eduTrinidad and TobagoPostcardsMonuments--Trinidad and TobagoMemorials--Trinidad and TobagoStatues--Trinidad and TobagoTrees--Trinidad and TobagoBuildings--Trinidad and TobagoColumbus, ChristopherImage
