Title: Book V Print 10: Unidentified man; aftermath of night-time celebrations in Havana
Creator: From the Collection: Yale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives
Contributor: From the Collection: St. George, Andrew, 1924-2001
From the Collection: Stone, David C.
Published / Created: 1959 February
Description: Top four rows of frames show part of the face of an unidentified balding man, probably an American, peering through the window of a door that appears to have no knob, but only a lock on the outside. It is possible that the man is a prisoner, although the grill on the door appears decorative and made of wood. Remaining frames show the aftermath of night-time street celebrations in Havana, possibly during Carnival of 1959. Frames 38-39 were taken from the corner of San Rafael Boulevard, looking northward on Prado. To the left of these frames is the terrace of the Hotel Inglaterra; the wooden frames used to separate seating for tourists and other on-lookers who would watch as carnival dancers and floats passed by.
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.
