dc.description.abstractThis postcard features the San Fernando or Naparima Hill circa 1915 (dome-shaped with a flattened top on the horizon) is located to the south of Pointe-a-Pierre which is in the middle and foreground of this image with much of its land under cultivation. There is a road which bends around the fields near the sea shore and T-shaped electricity poles outline the road's edge. The body of water on the far right, next to large cylindrical oil storage tanks and coconut trees, is the Gulf of Paria. There are two ponds in the middle foreground. In 1912, the Pointe-a-Pierre area consisted of the thriving sugar estates of Plaisance, Bon Accord, Bonne Aventure, Plein Palais, La Carriere and Concorde. In 1913, the estates were bought by an oil company called Trinidad Leaseholds Limited and used to establish an oil refinery and oil storage deposit.
