Pictures of Port of Spain - Then And Now

In 2024, we republished Paria Publishing's iconic "A Photograph Album of Trinidad At the Turn of the 19th Century", which features highlights from the Paria Archives. One day on a Sunday morning, we drove around Port of Spain and took some photos of what the streetscapes of this book look like today. Here they are side-by side!

The book is available in local bookstores and on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
