This is a false narrative of life in and around Port of Spain, Trinidad in the early 1900s. It is also a mix of the past and the present almost as if a few characters from modern day life insert themselves into the image and are looking on at the past. So the young boy with his face masks indicates that the image is being done in the time of COVID-19. He is still confused by the figure of strange mask woman sitting on the steps of an old heritage building typical of the ones found on St Vincent Street in Port of Spain in the early days. Other characters appear in sepia color from the past while life today is marked by the woman with a tank top and the fruit vendor.
