Lot Essay

Having exhausted his clientele in Trinidad, Cazabon and his family moved to St. Pierre, 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 and illustrations for the French newspapers, but appears to have had little success and returned to Trinidad at the end of the 1860s.
