Description: Taken in the first days after the fall of Batista and the assumption of power by revolutionary forces, these images appear to show the peaceful transfer of power of a major military base, probably Camp Columbia, to revolutionary forces headed by Camilo Cienfuegos, especially in frames 6-17 in third and fourth rows from the top. In the second row of frames, members of the rebel army advance forward on the left side of the frame while soldiers from Batista's surrendering army stand at attention to the right. Camilo Cienfuegos is seen at the center of frames 12-14 in the third row and arriving by the plane Sierra Maestra in frames 3-5 in the top row.
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.
