Description
Top frames show a guerrilla messenger and peasant scout arriving on horseback and same guerrilla messenger who in Prints 27, 40, 45 is seen carrying messages to Fidel Castro. Second row of photographs shows a duplicate shot of St. George photographing himself in the mirror at a safe house in Manzanillo (see Print 13). Other images in the second row show guerrillas relaxing with guns in front of a peasant hut and a group of guerrillas sifting beans for small stones and other debris before cooking. The last row of frames begins with a picture of either a small boy or old man wearing baggy pants and standing on top of an abandoned refrigerator in the middle of what had been a peasant dwelling that was burned or bombed to the ground; surrounding the boy on the refrigerator, one can see the original wall posts marking the limits of the house. Final two frames show unidentified rebels marching up from a river bed. See also Prints 27, 40, 45; for St. George photographing himself in safe house, see Print 13.
