This is a rare very scarce plan of the walled city of Havana from either a Spanish or Cuban publication. Keys identify 71 barrios, churches, hospitals, colleges, public buildings, markets, etc. The distance scale is in the vara castellana unit of measure. We can find no reference to this map and it has not appeared in dealer or auction catalogs to our knowledge.
