Description

Detailed representation of Havana, offering a detailed account of street names, house numbers, public buildings, fortifications, and military establishments.  

The plan presents a systematic and unembellished view of Havana, focusing on its urban layout. The delineation of streets, marked by sequential house numbers, reflects the organizational approach to city planning during the colonial era. The inclusion of fortifications points to Havana's military significance, while the depiction of public institutions such as churches and hospitals provides an overview of the civic landscape. The clear and precise representation of the city's grid and infrastructure without the embellishment typical of tourist or pictorial maps underscores the map’s practical orientation. 

The map appeared in Album Pintoresco de la Isla de Cuba, published by  B. May y Ca.  Storch & Kramer, Berlin.
