The same subject, without some of the foreground detail in the present watercolour, was included in Cazabon's Album of Trinidad, Paris, 1857, pl.17 ('Los Gallos, Icacos Bay'). The sandstone rocks on the south-east tip of the island (named Trinidad by Columbus on 31 July 1498) were named 'los gallos' (fighting cocks), when Columbus anchored in the bay on 2 August 1498. Of the seven rocks seen in this watercolour, now only four remain due to coastal erosion.
