EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Trinidad and Tobago's Pitch Lake at La Brea in the British West Indies during the 1910s. The lake, located in the southwestern part of Trinidad, is the world's largest natural deposit of asphalt. In this image, a worker is loading pitch onto the back of a truck, which has a Maximum Gross Weight (MGW) capacity of three tonnes. The pitch, a viscous and bituminous substance, was extracted from the lake using a process that involved heating and digging. The labor-intensive industry relied heavily on the manual labor of local workers and employees. The scene is reminiscent of the early days of the asphalt industry in Trinidad and Tobago, which would later become a significant contributor to the country's economy. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the hard work and dedication of those involved in the extraction process. The image is a testament to the rich history of Trinidad and Tobago's natural resources and the people who have worked to harness them.
