A light two-wheeled quitrin with its folding top lowered is the subject here, and the title's phrase *con fuelle hechado* tells viewers the hood was down, likely to show off the carriage rather than to shelter its passengers. The print is credited to the studio of Fredricks y Daries at 108 Calle de la Habana, a commercial photography business that sold views and portraits to residents and visitors alike. Carriages like this were a familiar sign of wealth in colonial Havana, and the photograph preserves the street setting that surrounded them.
