Description
Contains one print and one strip of two rows of frames. Both the print and the strip depict the crowd, officials, a naval unit, unidentified civilians and reporters gathered for the arrival of the Soviet delegation led by Anastas Mikoyan in Havana in early February 1960. Frames 45-48 show Armando Hart answering the questions of a reporter. Frames 27-35 show Che Guevara with an unidentified blond man wearing glasses (see also Prints 62 and 80), as well as Raúl Roa, Minister of Foreign Relations, standing to the blond man's left. Frames 19-22 show two foreign reporters, one of them Chinese, the other American. Bottom two rows of frames show scenes from the Soviet Expo, held at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Havana, and inaugurated by Mikoyan on February 5, 1960. The strip of images shows an enormous crowd gathered at the airport, as well as Fidel Castro surrounded by reporters and officials. Frames 57-58 show the landing of the aircraft, and the first images of Mikoyan as he emerges on the tarmac appear in frames 63-66. Many of the same images on this print and strip are duplicated in Print 80. See also Prints 29, 41, 55, 56, 57, 58, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, 106, and Contact Book VIII.
