The title pairs the name M.A. Leonard with the word "Father," but the record does not explain who Leonard was or how the phrase relates to the scene, so the connection remains open. Scenic views of Cleveland like this one circulated widely in the nineteenth century, when the city was growing quickly as a Lake Erie port and a terminus of the Ohio and Erie Canal, which opened in 1832. Prints of this kind were often sold as souvenirs, used as decoration, or engraved to illustrate local histories, and they now serve as useful records of how the city's streets and waterfront once looked.
