Cazabon and his family moved from Trinidad to Martinique in 1862 in search of new patrons. He rented a house in Rue Longchamps, St. Pierre, and produced works for merchants and wealthy planters, as well as illustrations for the French newspapers, but appears to have had little success, returning to Trinidad at the end of the 1860s.
