content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of Popocatépetl and buildings in Cuautla, Mexico. In the background at center, the conical peak of Popocatépetl looms over the landscape. Its notch or subsidiary peak is visible along its left slope. In the foreground at left, the belltower and dome of what is likely the Parroquia de Santiago Apóstol de Cuautla is visible beside the roof of a theater. A theater still exists roughly in that location to this day.
