Description
Antique postcard
White border era, circa 1915-1930
Canadian-made, P.E. Co, Ottawa, publishers
Beautiful palm trees on the island of Trinidad
If you are a literary buff, this little trivia might fascinate you! It’s presumed that Daniel Defoe and Robert Louis Stevenson based their respective novels - “Robinson Crusoe” and “Treasure Island” on the fascinating islands of Trinidad & Tobago.
More fun facts -
Although Trinidad and Tobago are two separate islands, they are treated as one single country.
The denizens of Tobago are called Tobagonians and those hailing from Trinidad are called Trinidadians or Trinis. Together the people of Trinidad and Tobago are referred to as "Trinbagonians."
The people of Trinidad and Tobago speak both English and French Patois.
Touted as a musical hub, the roots of the famous Caribbean Steel Pan lie in this place. Trinidad and Tobago is also home to popular musical forms like Calypso and Soca and is renowned for its pompous carnival celebrations and popular dance form Limbo.
The literacy rate of Trinidad & Tobago is higher than that of the U.S. Its literacy rate exceeds 98% as a result of education being free right from Kindergarten to University.
Cricket is the national sport of Trinidad & Tobago. However, soccer/football ranks as the second most popular sport in the island.

Those palms make a beautiful procession, and I like the impressionistic style of the card, too. Your statistics were quite interesting. I was not surprised, as I have known a very smart doctor from Trinidad, who filled me in on the situation there.
