EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1890, capturing a glimpse of the post office in Trinidad. The focal point of this image is an intriguing advertisement for chocolate Poulain, prominently displayed on the exterior walls of the building. This vintage ad serves as a testament to the power of advertising even in those early days. The composition beautifully showcases both cultural and historical elements. The American flag flutters proudly above the entrance, representing Trinidad's connection to North America. Meanwhile, Great Britain's influence is evident through its flag flying alongside it, signifying colonial ties. The traditional costumes worn by individuals passing by add depth and character to this snapshot from another era. It speaks volumes about the vibrant culture that thrived within these Caribbean islands during that time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also sheds light on communication practices prevalent in 19th-century Trinidad. The post office served as a vital hub for exchanging letters and packages among a diverse population. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by French School photographers from centuries ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of technology and globalization. Yet at its core, this image encapsulates not only history but also tradition - reminding us to cherish our roots while embracing progress.
