Description: This print features shots of Fidel's victory motorcade as it makes its way along the national highway to Havana. Top frames 33-34 show the front view of his car in what appears to be the early morning hours, as well as Fidel emerging from a middle-class home and standing behind the gate of the house with members of his personal escolta. Subsequent pictures show him speaking with small groups of civilians and rebels and frames 14-17 show the motorcade in movement and then stopping alongside the road. Frame 6 shows a rebel with rifle and beret seated underneath a large advertisement for "Hatuey" beer, owned by Bacardí Co., and frames 7-12 show nighttime scenes, probably preceding those in the top rows of frames, as Fidel's motorcade moves through a small town.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
