The title places this view at the "Caída del Husillo," a fall near Havana, and it names a spot outside the city rather than the city itself. Through the 19th century, travelers and print publishers were drawn to the countryside around Havana, and views of rivers, cascades, and wooded hills circulated among readers in Cuba and abroad. The shelflist card gives no date and the record does not confirm who made the print, so its exact period and maker remain uncertain. Its subject still shows how visitors of the time looked for scenic natural features near the capital.
